NOT SLACK

2 Peter 3:9

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.

Encouraging Words

Jesus promised us that He would come again to take us all into His heavenly kingdom. It has been over 2,000 years since he said that. Many Christians, especially the Christian nationalist of today believe that they are doing things to “force”Jesus to come on their timeframe. It does not work that way. He will come when God is ready for Him to. A key part of that delay is in this verse. God desires that everyone follow Jesus. He is willing to wait so that more people will come to Him. He also waits so that those of us who follow Jesus can strive for repentence and follow Him closer. Thanks be to God!
