The Lord is Longsuffering to Usward

The reason the Lord had not returned in Peter's day, and the reason that the Lord has not yet returned in our day is the same reason; because He is longsuffering.
If God was not longsuffering, none of us would be saved; but He is longsuffering, meaning, He is long-spirited and long-patient; it means that He forbears and suffers our ill manners and our sins and our wickedness to accomplish His good pleasure, and what He has decreed from eternity. --------Isaiah 57:15---Psalm 90:4---Hebrews 10:36-37---2 Peter 3:9 ---- Numbers 23:19,--- 1 Samuel 15:29, ---Titus 1:1-2---Isaiah 55:8-9, 25:1---Matthew 24:36---Exodus 12:40-42, ---Genesis 15:13-14. ---John 10:27-29 ---Acts 13:38-39,-- John 6:37, --Matthew 11:28,-- Isaiah 55:6-7.--God will turn no sinner away who comes to Him in repentance and faith in Christ. YOU SAY, but what about election? Turn from your sins to Christ! ~James Downing
