Even Our Repentance is an Act of God's Mercy

2 Timothy 2:24-26: "And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the Truth, and they may escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will."
