Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.
The patience of the LORD, God the Almighty is perfect but can and will be withdrawn when the willfulness of man's heart drives Him to it. He is not some namby-pamby, wishy-washy, lovey-dovey blob of sentimentality but is an awesome and fear inducing being of absolute perfection and justice to all who refuse His offer of salvation. Beware!
