Titus 3 v 4, reads ,' But when the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward men appeared'.v3 Expresses mankind's sinfulness,it is not complementary ,it describes us as being foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.It is a sad commentary on humanities state,and God does not lie,why did God come into into such a world in the person of His son Jesus?.The answer is very simple,because He is kind and loving.,and we could add to that,He is merciful, and forgiving..Many people see God as an Ogre,not at all friendly,yet if we read the Gospels, we see Jesus showing tremendous kindness,by healing multitudes of people,feeding the hungry,and raising the dead.We read that He went about doing good Acts 10 v 38,yes He was very kind, reflecting in all He did the kindness of God.And yet that same Lord Jesus spoke often of judgement ,of a place called hell Matthew 10 v 2/23 v 15/ 24 v 51.25 v 41/46 Luke 13 v 28..Judgement is coming, Jesus made that very clear. and there will be no exceptions Hebrews 9 v27. It didn't give any joy for Christ to have tell people about judgement, likewise it has never given me any joy,to mention hell. But the greatest kindness I can do,is to warn people of that reality,one way one can look at it,its like sounding the alarm to resident in their home, that it was on fire,I may even get a medal for doing it. People need to be told as regards judgement ,that is coming,and point to the only one ,who can save them, Jesus.
