God Is Eternal and PatientSample

Who is God? Eternal & Patient

GOD HAS NO BIRTH DATE OR OBITUARY. He isn’t bound to time like we are. He is extremely patient. He has always existed, and He alone is the creator of everything we know, including us. God cherishes people and wants to see His beloved creation return to Him.

Peter describes it this way: “A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day. The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent” (2 Peter 3:8-9). God is patient and wants to see everyone turn from their sins and live with Him forever. He uses time patiently to save all who will see His patience and turn from their sin toward Him.
