Pastor Joel reminds us that the kindness of the Lord is not about soft words and sugar and spice, but it's about His forbearance and patience. God's kindness is the provision, the allotment of time, that the Lord in his mercy provides for the person to come to repentance through what? The Gospel. And the Gospel is the good news of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, which automatically assumes and carries with it the bad news of wretchedness of man and the holiness of God.

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request.
00:00:03.360 If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show,
00:00:06.420 would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?
00:00:09.760 This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do
00:00:12.860 to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible.
00:00:17.520 Thanks.
00:00:19.700 Jesus said,
00:00:20.820 Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:25.460 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:29.320 Daily Truth
00:00:30.000 This is how the narrative goes.
00:00:32.000 God's kindness leads you towards repentance.
00:00:35.500 Pastor Joel, have you ever read Romans chapter two, verse four?
00:00:40.240 Like ever?
00:00:42.100 You obviously haven't.
00:00:43.380 Because don't you know how to win friends and influence people?
00:00:48.260 Don't you know how to be effective in pastoral ministry and preaching and evangelism?
00:00:53.620 Don't you know what actually bears fruit and what actually works?
00:00:57.860 kindness kindness leads people to repentance kindness wins people over
00:01:04.800 well there's a few problems number one how are you defining kindness number two what is the text
00:01:14.600 you're quoting that i reference for you because you don't know the reference i know the text
00:01:18.700 better than you do most of the time and so the text that you're quoting what is the context of
00:01:24.120 it. What is actually being said? See, kindness, God is so helpful. The apostle Paul inspired by
00:01:29.960 the Holy Spirit is so helpful. He's so clear. Kindness is defined in the text. Well, we don't
00:01:36.100 have Paul listing three different things. We have Paul listing one thing three different ways. Three
00:01:41.220 words for one thing. Verse four, or do you presume on the riches of God's kindness and forbearance
00:01:51.600 and patience. What is kindness in the context of this text? It is forbearance and patience.
00:02:01.360 So God's kindness is what? That through soft words and sugar and spice, he breaks the heart of men,
00:02:10.760 replaces it with a heart of flesh, and causes them to put faith in the Lord Jesus and repent.
00:02:15.700 No.
00:02:17.360 Now, Jeremiah says your word is like a hammer.
00:02:19.660 Hard hearts need hard sermons.
00:02:22.520 Hard words.
00:02:24.300 So what is the kindness of the Lord in the context of the text?
00:02:27.760 It's his forbearance and patience.
00:02:31.180 The kindness of the Lord is not so much what Paul is referencing
00:02:34.780 as the instrument that wins people over to Christ.
00:02:37.980 The kindness of the Lord is the provision, the allotment of time
00:02:42.860 that the Lord in his mercy provides for the person
00:02:47.680 to come to repentance through what?
00:02:50.280 The gospel.
00:02:51.680 And the gospel is the good news of the life,
00:02:55.200 death, and resurrection of Jesus,
00:02:56.880 which automatically assumes and carries with it
00:03:00.960 the bad news of the wretchedness of man,
00:03:04.460 the holiness of God, and the need to repent, period.
00:03:09.780 Thanks so much for listening.
00:03:10.780 But real quick, before you go, do us a small favor, take a moment, and leave us a five-star review if you enjoyed the show.
00:03:18.280 This is undoubtedly the best way that you can help us get this biblically faithful content to as many people as possible.
00:03:25.660 Thanks so much.
