“We often want our enemies’ next step to be repentance because we want them to admit what they did to hurt us or how they are wrong. But there may be other steps they need to take first. Jesus accepted the people who were unacceptable and made it clear He wants us to do that too. Not many people ever get condemned into life change. But people get loved into life change all the time. It is God’s kindness that leads us to repentance (Rom. 2:4), and He empowers us to extend that same kindness to others.”
