Led to Repentance by the Goodness of God
Sinners need to be, and most certainly are to be, persuaded to come to Jesus Christ for salvation. Paul spoke of 'persuading' men. That word 'persuade', as used by the Apostle Paul, means to move or to induce a person to do something. Essentially the God of heaven employs two ways by which He persuades the unconverted to come to Christ: [1] He issues warnings about eternal punishment and hell fire. It has often been said that Jesus Christ spoke more often about hell than He did about heaven during His earthly ministry. [2] He persuades sinners by His goodness. This text highlights this particular truth. It is the subject of being led to repentance by God's goodness that I want to particularly consider this evening. Consider: 1. Without repentance there is no genuine salvation 2. The goodness of God towards a sinner 3. Despising the goodness of God.
