Inspired by John MacArthur
The world is so offended. We're so used to mercy and blessings, so accustomed to abusing grace that when justice does appear we think that it's injustice. We're offended when God is not merciful because we don't understand what we deserve.
Yes, there are times when His mercy runs out. Though we would never tolerate a person who constantly offends us, God has more mercy than we do.
You're living on borrowed time. You're living by the grace from a Holy God. The message is always the same in every disaster; you're gonna die. And you're just storing up wrath until the day of judgement (that is, the day you die). Day by day you're filling up the reservoir of God's patience until some day the dam breaks and you drown under all your sins (that is, your sins will be revealed on the day of judgement).
However, God has sent his Son into the world to take our punishment. The goodness of all the blessings God has given you should lead you to ask God to forgive you for abusing his goodness and at times mocking his mercy and grace.
