What the Bible says about Restraint
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Acts 17:30 God overlooked, tolerated, or bore with it because of, in this case, our ignorance. God made excuses, as it were, to Himself to restrain Himself from striking out. This is, of course, bringing God down to a human level so we can understand. This is the kind of language Paul and Luke used to allow us to grasp the fact that God bore with us. We have to learn to do the same toward others. John W. Ritenbaugh Unity (Part 8): Ephesians 4 (E) Related Topics: Forbearance | God's Forbearance | God's Longsuffering | God's Restraint | God's Tolerance | Longsuffering | Self Restraint | Tolerance
