DO NOT TAKE GOD FOR GRANTED

Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. If punishment for a crime is delayed, people feel it is safe to do evil. The fact that God does not punish us immediately we sin, should not make us assume that sin does not have its consequences or that God does not care. God is holy and righteous and hates sin in all forms. He knows everything we do,both good and bad, and will one day require us to give an account of all our actions. Sin has terrible consequences and to avert those consequences,one should genuinely repent and begin to live for God. one translation of the bible puts Romans 2:4 this way: Or 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? Let God's goodness towards you motivate you to turn away from sin.
