God’s Forbearance Leads To our Repentance

Today’s Verse reveals how we and others come to repentance. It’s all because of God’s kindness. But too often we assume that the threat of judgment is what leads to repentance. “If only we can show people how bad they are, then they will be sorry”, we think. Or perhaps if we can show them the […]

Genuine Repentance
