This passage highlights the dual nature of God, showing both His lovingkindness and severity… and serves as a warning to all Believers to remain steadfast in their faith. The grace of God is a gift we enjoy everyday, to the point we take it for granted. But God’s riches of kindness, tolerance, and patience are to lead us towards repentance not apathy. (Romans 2:4) For the kindness of God is intended to produce sorrow for our sin and a turning away from it. So this is a good reminder of God’s Divine generosity, giving us what we don’t deserve…all the while being cognizant of the consequences of rejecting His love. For God’s desire for His people has always been for transformation rather than judgment.
