  5. Gal. 5:22-23 “PATIENCE” December 2, 2012 • “patience” in Gal. 5:22: • “In the Bible, makrothumia focuses our attention on God, not on our behavior.

If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.” Galatians Justified by Faith
