God is calling me to Faith
2 Peter 3:9
9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill His promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
God is calling you to follow Him.
Plain and simple.
Jesus desires that all will come to know Him as the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Jesus desires that all will be His sheep and listen to His voice. Jesus’ work on the cross was for all. Remember, He even asked for forgiveness for the mocking crowd that was killing Him.
I love this verse in 2 Peter 3 because it reveals that God has not abandoned us, but instead is allowing space for sinners to repent and believe. He does not desire that any should perish and endure eternity apart from Him. Jesus desires that the salvation He purchased on the cross would be received by all in this world.
Have you placed your faith in Jesus?
Has He become your Savior?
Is He your Lord?
As we conclude today, consider when you made the decision to follow Jesus. Reflect on that moment—that time, that instant of recognizing your sin and trusting Him as your Savior. How has that moment shaped the rest of your moments?
If you do not have that story, today can be that day. We read in 2 Corinthians 6 on Sunday: “Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” May today be the day you surrender your life to Jesus.
