Mercy, kindness, and love are central to God’s character and what makes repentance possible for us. But we must have the desire for repentance…for forgiveness, purification, and restoration – and it all starts with confession. But admitting we’re wrong is hard, and admitting our rebellion, alienation, and disobedience to God isn’t easy. But as Romans 2:4 reminds us, it’s God’s kindness, tolerance, and patience that leads us toward repentance and makes the way possible.
