II Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”
Download Longsuffering to us-ward
God’s desire is that all would come to to know Him by faith. He does not want anyone to perish.
He is patient, slow to anger, and slow to punish.
The world often paints a different picture of God. Portraying Him as eager to condemn. But He has called and commissioned His children to reach out to those who need salvation.
He has given us the love and grace we need to be effective in pointing them to this repentance.
He displays His character and longsuffering nature by saving us and asking us to share the gospel with others.
The Lord will not delay His coming. He keeps His promises. But He also provides witnesses and shows compassion.
There is a time appointed, when men will no longer have opportunity to repent. Until that day comes, God will be faithful in shining His light, through His people, in love and in kindness.
