Romans 2:4 Or despise you the riches of his goodness and forbearance and long-suffering… I. THE OBJECT OF GOD'S GOODNESS is — 1. To exhibit His perfections and to receive His creatures' praise. 2. To attach this to Himself in gratitude and love. 3. To lead them to obedience and a holy life. II. GOD'S GOODNESS IS DESPISED. 1. When not duly noticed. 2. When not followed by grateful acknowledgment. 3. When the end aimed at in it is disregarded. (T. Robinson, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? |
