All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others
Does God want None to perish?
In 2 Peter 3:9 says God does not want anyone should perish, but all should come to repentance.
But our sin is serious and it cost Jesus incredible suffering. We should be reminded that because of "one little sin" death entered the world and passed upon all men (Rom. 5:12-21). We always see sinners love to rationalize themselves and even when Adam and eve sinned they tried to justify themselves by saying” The serpent deceived me, and I ate”. God is the same in the Old and New Testaments.
Jesus said of false teachers that “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. 14 Leave them; they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.” “(Matthew 15:13-14)
In Rom. 5:6-8 we are told that God commended his love toward us in sending Christ to die for us though we were or are yet sinners. By God's grace we are given certain conditions we can meet and have our sins washed away. "And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him .” (Hebrews 5:9). The effect of God's grace in our lives is initially accomplished when we, having faith, repent of our sins, and are immersed in water to have our sins remitted (Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; Acts 22:16).
God has no pleasure in death of the wicked: God desires all men to obey His commands and the sinners resist the Holy Spirit every time they refuse to obey Gods commandments and his laws.
Psalm 68:2As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
