Inside Out // Week 6

We all can recall times in our lives when we've been treated with kindness. Whether it's a person that's been good to you or a situation that has been good to you, we've all been dealt kindness. However, no one will ever be as good to you as God has been to you.

Life is good because God is good.

Sin may look good, taste good, & feel good but it always ends badly.

"Or do you presume (think lightly/disrespect) on the riches of his kindness and forbearance (tolerate) and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?" Romans 2:4

When we sin, we're thinking lightly of God's goodness & what his goodness cost Him on the cross.

Sin mocks the goodness of God. We sin, mess up and as a result, God sends His son.

The more we think about God's goodness, the less likely we are to abuse it.

If there's one thing God is wealthy in, it's his goodness. No one can ever do what God's done for you.

God doesn't have to punish us for our sin. Our sin is punishment enough.

"God's failure to zap people when they sin isn't evidence of His disinterest. It's evidence of His kindness."

If God was out to get you, He'd already have gotten you. He's not out to get YOU - He's out to get your HEART.

"The Lord is not slow to fulfill His promise as soon count slowness, but is patient toward you." 2 Peter 3:9

Heaven isn't for people who are scared of hell but for people who love Jesus.

It's not our badness but His goodness that leads us to repentance.

"Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!" Psalm 34:8

God could easily beat us to repentance but He wants us to enter into a relationship with Him because of His goodness.
