If the Father deigns to touch with divine power the cold and pulseless heart of the buried acorn and to make it burst forth from its prison walls, will He leave neglected in the earth the soul of man-made in the image of his Creator? --William Jennings Bryan
2 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.
The Lord desires that everyone would come to repentance. He desires that none would die without Him. He desires that everyone would die to self and confess Him as Lord and Saviour. Will there be some to reject the Truth of the Gospel? Yes. As a matter of fact, there will be many to reject Jesus Christ as Saviour. However, that does not mean God doesn’t want them to be saved. He does! It means they have believed the lie of Satan. It means they have chosen to live their life, their way, without the love of God in their life. Since they have chosen to live this way, if they don’t repent and confess Him as Saviour before they die, they will live eternally without Him.
Friend, God is not willing that any should perish. That is why He sacrificed His only begotten Son on the Cross of Calvary. That’s why He was buried. That’s why three days later; He arose from the grave, conquering death, hell, and the grave so that you might have everlasting life!
