THAT NONE SHOULD PERISH

The Lord does not delay and be tardy or slow
About what He promises,
According to some people's conception of slowness,
But He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you,
NOT DESIRING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH,
But that ALL should turn to REPENTANCE. (2 Peter 9, AMP)

God Almighty has given mankind 6,000 years of Time.
He has sent His One and only Son to purchase the Forgiveness of Sin,
So that ANYONE who REPENTS of their Sin, has their Sin washed away.
He has given mankind His Word; His Instruction Manual.
He has given everyone a God given conscience
So that they know right from wrong.
He has sent His Spirit to ALL who will receive Him,
To enable them to OVERCOME this Wicked World and Satan who rules it,
By the Power of Christ living in and through them.

There is nothing more that God could do to ensure
THAT NONE SHOULD PERISH.
He has done everything in His Power, except violate the Free Will of man.
Every man and every woman MUST CHOOSE.

Will it be Christ Jesus; the only Way, the only Truth and the only LIFE
Or will it be the DECEPTION of Satan.
Satan the ENEMY of all mankind. Listen to the apostle Peter:

Be well-balanced—temperate. Sober-minded;
Be vigilant and cautious at all times,
For that Enemy of yours, the Devil, roams around like a lion
Roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and DEVOUR.

Withstand him; be firm in Faith [against his onset],--
Rooted, established, strong, immovable and determined--
Knowing that the same (identical) sufferings
Are appointed to your brotherhood (the whole body of Christians)
Throughout the world.

And after you have suffered a little while, the God of ALL GRACE--
Who imparts ALL BLESSING AND FAVOR--
Who has called you to His [own] Eternal Glory in Christ Jesus,
Will Himself complete and make you what you ought to be,
Establish and Ground you securely, and strengthen (and settle) you.

To Him be the Dominion—Power, Authority, rule—
FOREVER and EVER. Amen—so be it. (1 Peter 5:8-11, AMP)

The apostle Peter goes on to say:
For His Divine power has bestowed upon us ALL THINGS
That [are requisite and suited] to LIFE and Godliness,
Through the (full, personal) knowledge of Him
Who called us by and to His own Glory and Excellence (virtue).

By means of these He has bestowed on us
His Precious and exceedingly Great Promises,
So that through them you may ESCAPE (by flight)
From the Moral Decay (rottenness and corruption)
That is in the World because of Covetousness (lust and greed),
And become sharers (partakers) of the Divine Nature.

For this very reason, adding your diligence [to the Divine Promises],
Employ every effort in exercising your Faith
To develop virtue (excellence, resolution, Christian energy);
And in [exercising] virtue [develop] knowledge (intelligence),

And in [exercising] knowledge [develop] self-control;
And in [exercising] self-control [develop] steadfastness
(Patience, endurance),
And in [exercising steadfastness [develop] godliness (piety),

And in [exercising] godliness [develop] brotherly affection,
And in [exercising] brotherly affection [develop] Christian love.

For as these qualities are yours and increasingly abound in you,
They will keep [you] from being idle or unfruitful
Unto the (full personal) knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ,
The Messiah, the Anointed One.

For whoever lacks these qualities is BLIND, [spiritually] short sighted,
Seeing only what is near to him;
And has become oblivious [of the fact]
That he was cleansed from his old Sins.

Because of this, brethren, be all the more solicitous and eager
TO MAKE SURE (to ratify, to strengthen, to make steadfast)
YOUR CALLING AND ELECTION;
For if you do this YOU WILL NEVER STUMBLE OR FALL.
(2 Peter 1:3-10, AMP)

The apostle Perter has described the WAY of Christ Jesus,
THAT NONE SHOULD PERISH!

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This world in it's present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)
America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
