Not
Willing That Any Should Perish
"The
Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness,
but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should
perish but that all should come to repentance." (1)
"He
who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses
and forsakes them will have mercy." (2)
"If
we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us
our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
(3)
"Confess
your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another,
that you may be healed." (4)
"For
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting
life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn
the world, but that the world through Him might be saved."
