Our Verse: 2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that ALL should come to repentance ASV

All is an interesting word in the Bible. It is a small word with a big meaning for every person. Let's see how that little word applies to you, me and eternity!

A popular idea is that God will choose some people and reject others. This makes some people prideful, thinking they are better, but others become terribly afraid, thinking God will never choose them.

Both kinds of people suffer from a critical lack of information!
The proud religious person is mistaken about God's selection process for eternity! They think that by doing good things, God will owe them Heaven. However, it is “not by works of righteousness we have done, but by His mercy He has saved us” There just is no earning Heaven.

At the other end of the spectrum are folks that live in absolute panic they won't be chosen. They see God as angry, like an impossible to please father, just waiting to squash them. They feel hopeless.

But... There's really great news! And it's about our little big word...ALL!!

When you read what God says, you will not be mistaken with the proud, the self-righteous or discouraged with those afraid of God.

The Bible says- “The Lord is longsuffering (patient) toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that ALL should come to repentance.”
This means- He is patiently waiting for every person to turn to Him.

He actually wants every person with Him in His coming Kingdom.

Let's believe what He said. It is the most important decision we will ever make.
