How do we know the goodness of God leads to repentance?

Answered in 1 source

Romans 2:4 states that the goodness of God leads men to repentance.

The apostle Paul, in Romans 2:4, presents a profound truth: it is the goodness and kindness of God that draws sinners to repentance. This notion is echoed in the teachings of James, who points to the need for believers to articulate the goodness found in the Gospel. The goodness of God is revealed through Christ Jesus, and as believers share this message of grace and mercy with others, they enable others to encounter God's loving nature, thus leading them towards repentance. This understanding aligns with sovereign grace theology, which affirms that it is solely God's action through His grace that prompts genuine repentance in the hearts of sinners.
