Romans 2:4
Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?
In the previous verse, Paul asked the moral person if they thought they could somehow escape from the judgment of God. No matter how moral we are, we can’t fully live up to the law of God. As a result, we cannot escape His judgment.
God’s kindness, forbearance, and patience toward us as sinners is amazingly great. We deserve His judgment and wrath everyday. Each moment that we continue to live is evidence of His excessively rich mercy toward us.
Paul now asks the moral person, who thinks they are acceptable to God, if they are taking God’s kindness, forbearance, and patience lightly.  Are they thinking they deserve His kindness when they really don’t?
Instead of making us overconfident in ourselves, thinking His kindness is evidence of our righteousness, it should lead us to repentance. God’s patience is intended to give us a chance to realize that we are sinners, admit our sin to God and believe on Jesus to save us from our sin.
