The Patience of God

by Alistair Begg

2 Peter 3:1–18
 (ID: 2894)

According to Romans 2:4, God’s kindness is meant to lead us to repentance. In this message, Alistair Begg considers examples throughout Scripture that illustrate God’s merciful patience toward sinners who deserve nothing but immediate judgment. In meditating on the patience of God, we are reminded of His great goodness in providing a Savior for sin, and we are challenged to pray with patience and persistence for those who do not know Christ.
