Kyle Thompson // God’s Attributes According to Himself: Slow to Anger & Lovingkindness

God reveals seven attributes of His character in Exodus 34:6-7, providing a powerful description of divine nature through His own words to Moses. We explore four of these attributes: God's compassion, graciousness, patience (slowness to anger), and His unfailing loving kindness (chesed).

• God describes Himself as "slow to anger" – demonstrating incredible patience with humanity
• The Hebrew word "chesed" means loyal love or "stubborn love" that persists despite obstacles
• God's patience gives us multiple chances and serves as a model for our relationships
• Romans 2:4 reveals that God's patience and kindness are designed to lead us to repentance
• The Psalms repeatedly celebrate God's loving kindness that "never ceases" and is "everlasting"
• God's loving kindness is particularly remarkable when we consider how difficult some people are to love
• This divine patience should influence how we parent, lead, and build relationships
