Please read Romans 2.

Meditate on verse 4.
Do you think lightly of the riches of His
kindness and tolerance and patience,
not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?
Do you presume upon the LORD’s kindness, forbearance, and longsuffering patience? The LORD is kind to you because He wants you to repent of your stubborn selfishness.
Examine yourself in the light of Romans 2. Do you obey the truth or do you obey unrighteousness? Are you a hearer of the Word and not a doer of it? Are you a corrector of the foolish, yet you refuse to correct yourself? Do you take the LORD’s kindness and patience for granted?
The day of God’s wrath is coming for those with a stubborn and unrepentant heart.
Do not take His longsuffering over you lightly. The LORD’s patience will one day cease for those who refuse His glory, honor, immortality—His offer of eternal life.
Pray Romans 2:4-7 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, may and I stop taking lightly
the riches of Your kindness, tolerance, and patience.
Please forgive our stubborn and unrepentant hearts.
We do not want to store up wrath for ourselves
in the day of Your wrath and revelation of
Your righteous judgment, God.
Help us to persevere in doing good.
May we seek Your glory, honor, and immortality, Your eternal life.
In Your name, Jesus~”
