How do we know that God's goodness leads to repentance?

Answered in 1 source

Romans 2:4 states that the kindness of God leads to repentance, demonstrating His desire for us to turn to Him.

The goodness of God and His mercies serve a divine purpose: to lead us to repentance. In Romans 2:4, Paul writes that it is the kindness of God that leads us to repentance, indicating that God’s gracious acts are intended to soften our hearts and provoke a response of humility and acknowledgment of our sins. The miracles performed by Jesus, as recounted in Matthew 11, were acts of mercy that demonstrated God’s love and goodness, meant to encourage the unrepentant to recognize their sinfulness and seek change. When people witness God’s goodness and fail to respond, they face grave accountability, as evidenced by the rebukes Jesus gave to Chorazin and Bethsaida.
