The Lord Wants No One to Perish

1 Timothy 2:3-4  . . . God our Savior; who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Ezekiel 33:11 Tell them, As I live, says the Lord, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn, turn from your evil ways; for why will you die, house of Israel?

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
