God’s Goodness Forbearance Longsuffering DESPISING God’s Goodness Forbearance Longsuffering Introduction:A. Can be no question about God’s having these traits. 1. Goodness (1 "kindness" Vine) 2. Forbearance (2 "deferral of punishment" Vine) 3. Longsuffering (3 "Quality of self-restraint in the face of provocation which does not hastily or promptly punish; it is the opposite of anger, associated with mercy, and is used of God.” – Vine)B. Can be no question that these traits are often “despised” (4 To treat lightly or disregard – not necessarily to hate. (cf. 1 Tim. 4:12; Mt. 6:24) – as did Jews.

God’s Goodness… Often repaid with Impenitence Rom 2.4-5; Mt 5.45; 2 Pet 3.9 A. Mistake His favors and deferral for acceptance. 1. Bestows favor upon all men – good and bad. (Matt. 5:45). 2. Defers judgment to give time to repent. (2 Pet. 3:9). B. Mistake His forbearance and longsuffering for approval.

God’s Forbearance… Often repaid with Harshness Rom 2.5; Rom 2.1-2; Mt 7.1-5 1 Cor 8.1; 1 Cor 4.6 A. Jews were hard and unfair in their judgment of others (Rom. 2:1-2; cf. Mt. 7:1-5). 1. Ignored own sins, magnified sins of others. 2. Ignored God’s years of mercy to them as a people. B. We must guard against hardness: arrogant, self-righteous, overbearing. 1. Allow knowledge to puff up (1 Cor. 8:1). 2. Forget that we received our position from God. (1 Cor. 4:6).

God’s Longsuffering… Often repaid with Impatience Gal 6.9; Lk 9.54-56 2 Tim 4.2; 2.23; 1 Cor 5.2; 2 Thess 3.6 Ps 37.1-11 Gal 2.5 A. Impatience with God – Want to reap harvest right now (cf. Gal. 6:9). B. Impatience in dealing with sin in the world and church. (Cf. Lk. 9:54-56). 1. Can “reprove and rebuke” with all longsuffering. (2 Tim 4:2). 2. Can gently teach those in opposition (2 Tim. 2:23). 3. Can discipline when this fails (1 Cor 5.2; 2 Thess 3:6). C. Impatience in expecting every wrong to be corrected now. 1. Need to leave something for Lord to do. (Cf. Ps. 37:1-11). 2. May do more harm than good (Parable of tares). D. Impatience in our stand for the truth. (Cf. Gal. 2:5).
