Romans 2:4 — Do you show contempt for the riches of His kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?
Explanation: God’s kindness is not weakness—it is mercy meant to draw us back to Him. His patience delays judgment to give time for repentance. Kindness breaks the pride of sin and softens the hardest heart.
Kindness is God’s road to repentance.
Patience is mercy holding back wrath.
Forbearance gives space to return.
