The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.2 Peter 3:9
Some people may wonder why God is a meanie and won’t let everyone into His exclusive club in Heaven. First off He is far from mean and it is far from exclusive but is a kingdom prepared for those who have repented and love Him and follow Him. And yes it will be pretty fabulous and no screenwriter on Earth can begin to imagine how wonderful and glorious it truly will be.
This verse is pretty cut and dried in that He isn’t willing for ANY to perish, and all people have a chance to turn from evil and do good although Satan trips many people up with lies and deceit. His tool is confusion too.
If you are sick and fear dying don’t be scared because if you do pass from this temporary dwelling place and you accepted Christ as savior you will wake up in Heaven and probably wonder why you wanted to stay here so bad. Run your race to win. Tell others how to find Christ. Pray for the lost and those who really don’t think they have time for God.
PRAYER: Lord I thank you for the gift of eternal life. I pray for those far from you or for those who have shelved their Bible cause they don’t need it. Wake people up. In Jesus ‘ name. Amen.
