Romans 2:4 Display Chapter and Footnotes   4 Or do you despise the riches of his goodness and tolerance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God is to lead you to repentance? [Heed! Jesus twice said: Repent or perish! Luke 13:3,13:5. To turn from evil is basic to seeking God; sin is transgression of the righteous law of God in every man's heart: love your neighbor as you love yourself; don't steal; don't commit adultery; don't lie; don't covet; don't murder; and honor your father and mother; to do for others what you would have them do for you. If you wait, watch, and listen for Him, grace will teach you what to deny, how to live a godly life, and then remove even the desire to sin from your heart.
