I am impressed again at Paul's teaching on the Love of God and the Wrath of God.
The Kindness of God leads men to repentance.... 2:4
But if unrepentant.... God's wrath and righteous judgment. 2:5
And the only way of right standing with God is faith in His provision for my sin... Jesus. 3:27-31
For this is the repentance that is required.
It's all in Romans 2 and 3
Love and Kindness. Judgement and Wrath. Same God.
And provision for me to choose.
....Faith in Jesus.
I trust my life on it.
