“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.” (II Peter3:9)
God has a directed will, such as His will for the sun to come up in the east and set in the west. He also has a permissive will, such as letting bad things happen to good people or permitting a person to refuse to take life-saving medicine prescribed by one’s physician.
In His permissive will God will allow a person to never repent, believe on Jesus nor follow Him. While He is not willing that any should perish and desires that everyone receive His Son by faith and be saved, He will not violate man’s choice.
But why would anyone refuse the only way of salvation and live a hopeless eternity separated from God? Receive Jesus by faith today.
