God's Kindness Towards Sinners

"Or are you [so blind as to] trifle with and presume upon and despise and underestimate the wealth of His kindness and forbearance and long-suffering patience? Are you unmindful or actually ignorant [of the fact] that God's kindness is intended to lead you to repent (to change your mind and inner man to accept God's will)?
(Romans 2:4 AMPC)"

God's kindness towards you while you are still in sin is actually intended to lead you to repentance. It is intended to cause a change of mind and attitude. Unfortunately, the devil still uses this against us. For instance, you just finished committing fornication, and receive a mail for appointment or promotion. The devil will quickly tell you that "you see God is not angry with you after all, if He is why will He grant you such a favour?"
You have been deceived! God is manifesting His kindness towards you in order to cause you to repent from your evil ways.
If you fall for this trap of the devil, the scripture says you are blind. The devil has succeeded in blindfolding you and he is leading away into eternal damnation.

ACTION PLAN: Do not trivialize God's kindness and its intention. Turn away from your wickedness today and turn to God.

PRAYER: Father, do not let me fall into the devil's deception. Regenerate my inner man and make me fit for heaven.
