The Patience of Our God

There is nothing greater or more beautiful than the patience of our God, and so it is recorded in His Word as follows: But do not be ignorant of this one thing, beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance.

It is well known that wickedness and immorality are increasing throughout the world because we are in the times declared in Genesis 6 where the minds and hearts of people are directed toward evil.

Many people have heard about the plan of salvation for the entire world (John 3:16-18), but many do not respect it and think that one day I want to change my life.

Many people live and think they will have the opportunity to repent like the criminal on the cross next to Jesus.

But on the other hand we notice that mental illness occurs and when a person loses his mind, it becomes difficult to repent of his sins.

There are some people who live foolish lives and do everything that is against the will of God, changing their gender to another gender, expressing themselves as a woman in a man’s body, a man in a woman’s body, who know God but simply choose in their minds to disobey His Word, bringing with it all the consequences mentioned in Romans 1:18-32.

Even though they did not like to retain the knowledge of God, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things that were inconvenient (Romans 1:28-31).

The devil tries every possible means to make people live in darkness, in the delusion of evil, and ultimately fall into hell.

But the patience of God is greater than all the evil nonsense, for whoever comes to Christ Jesus and believes in him will be saved and thus be delivered from the enemy’s competition.

It doesn’t matter what their circumstances are, it doesn’t matter what they’ve been through, because if they believe in their hearts and confess with their mouths that Jesus Christ is Lord and that God raised Him from the dead, they will be saved.

This confirms to us all that is written in Psalm 103:3: God forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases.

Luke 21:19 reads: By your patience you will win souls.

Matthew 24:13-14 records: “He who endures to the end will be saved. This gospel of the kingdom of heaven will be preached in all the world as a witness to all nations.” The end is coming.

Here we notice the patience of our God, for no one knows when the Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached throughout the world, for even on this earth there are millions who have not confessed Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior, and there are many who reject Him.

Many have the courage to say that they want to remain as they are, thinking that religion can save people and that they do not have to change their double life, repent and surrender completely to Christ Jesus and be ready for His coming.

People prefer religion to holiness because they see that their religion allows them to do things outside of God’s will and therefore remain religious without seeking holiness in the Lord.

Nos Diostin passanshi.
