'...THE KINDNESS OF GOD LEADS...TO REPENTANCE.' ROMANS 2:4

Ever notice that most organisations insist that you earn your way? For
example, airlines compensate frequent fliers with free miles, sports
franchises reward players who score goals and win games. Some
corporations even grade their employees on a scale where they can earn a
private office or their own parking space. But God is not like that; you
can't earn salvation. Paul says, '...the kindness of God leads...to
repentance.' Notice, he didn't say the scare tactics of a preacher or
the legalistic requirements of some church that you keep their standards
before God will accept you. No, genuine repentance is our response to
the unconditional love of a perfect God. A God who delights in reaching
down and restoring the cracked pots and damaged vessels society wants to
throw on the garbage heap. When you encounter a Saviour like that, you
want to please Him. It's impossible to experience the unfailing love of
a God who stands by you when others fail you, and keep on abusing His
love. The very idea that God's love comes with no strings attached goes
against every human instinct. '...God so loved the world, that He gave
His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not
perish, but have everlasting life' (John 3:16 KJV). Love is the force
that draws us to Him. To know Him is to love Him. And to walk with Him
is to experience 'joy unspeakable.' To the hopeless and hurting our God
says, 'Come. Your past doesn't disqualify you; your problem's are not
too big for Me: I've handled bigger. Maybe you're not welcome anywhere
else, but today you're '...accepted in the Beloved' (Ephesians 1:6 KJV).
