Well, it is the GOODNESS of God that leads us to repentance.

Just look at Jesus Christ, who is God in the flesh and the revelation of the Father. How many people did he “discipline” for what they did wrong? He forgave and healed everyone who came to him.

From what I've learned so far, He most certainly does test us and our faith, He does allow consequences and all of which He uses for our growth, no matter what it might look and feel like to us and the world at the time. His Ways are not our ways and vice versa.

I've also read that not all have His Seal, especially not in the end, even among those who claim to be His own.

Working out a timeline in my head, I think we're living in the Grand Illusion prequel part of the end of days. Check the view screen and then reread Paul's first letter to the Romans 24:32.

See what I mean? Yes, He intends to save us all, but...
