God Is KIND. So What? S12e8 Rm2:4

God is rich in kindness, forbearance and patience. Big deal. Yawn. Worse yet, let me even abuse His goodness by my mis-thinking and by my mis-deeds.

We don't see classic wrath just yet.  We don't witness people being appropriately punished right after their particular crimes.  There is a GAP between SIN and WRATH.   I see this better visually:  SIN..................................................WRATH. We see the sin. We see the gap.  Not too much classical wrath just yet. We are living in the gap.

The gap, God's patience, is supposed to be a road to repentance. This kindness of God is to give us opportunity to get some spiritual-throw-up in our mouths.  The forbearance should be the path to admitting we are wrong.

Or, we can despise this grace.  We can not value it. We might mis-understand the : PURPOSE of the gap.  Listen 7 minutes bewithme.us so we do the right thing with all those .............................................
