Romans 2:4 - Additional Comments
When we are tempted, how quickly we forget who God is, and just neglect any thoughts about His goodness and patience towards us. We push God to the limits, as Israel and Judah did.
Why does God have such great patience? He wants to see repentance. He wants us to forsake the sin and go to Him. He wants us to have a great relationship with Him.
