God Is Patient And Slow To Anger

God first demonstrated this character trait in the Garden of Eden after Adam and Eve defied His direct command not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God chose not to destroy the human race has He had a right to do (Genesis 2:16-17).

God was also patient in Noah's time, while the ark was being built (1Peter 3:20) and the rest of humanity (outside of Noah's family) was living in total rebellion against God. And God is still patient with the sinful human race. The reason God is now holding back is judgement on the world is because He is patiently giving everyone to repent and be saved (2Peter 3:9).

Thanks for reading.
God bless you.
Shalom.
