Consider, that at this very moment, God is showing Himself to be patient and longsuffering toward millions of lost sinners in the world, many of whom have heard the good news of the gospel of Christ, but who have no interest in the Lord and Saviour, nor in the welfare of their never-dying souls.--- -1 Thessalonians 5:4-----1 John 2:15-17, James 4:4 ---1 John 3:2-3: ---Ezra 9:7-9---Isaiah 55:6-7 ---1 Corinthians 6:9-11, ---Ephesians 2:1-5, ---Colossians 1:21, ---3:5-7, Titus 3:3-7 ---Ephesians 4:1-2,--- Colossians 3:12 ---Isaiah 5:18-19,--- Ezekiel 12:21-28,--- Ecclesiastes 8:11-13---Romans 2:4, 9:21-25 ---Will God's patience and longsuffering result in your salvation? Or in your damnation? The goodness and patience and longsuffering of God SHOULD lead sinners to repentance; but so often, it leads them to be even more contrary and emboldened in their sins against God and His goodness! The badness of man is to despise the goodness of God! |
