That’s Not His Desire
DECEMBER 3 & 4, 2022
Daily Reading – Daniel 3-4 / 2 Peter 3
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
There are many theories in the world today of what the Bible says and means. Some go to great lengths to try to prove their conclusions. However, there is what is called the Golden Rule of Scriptural Interpretation that says, “WHEN THE PLAIN SENSE OF SCRIPTURE MAKES COMMON SENSE, SEEK NO OTHER SENSE.” I just like that. It makes sense.
I find it to be against scripture for someone to tell me that God created some people with the intention of sending them to hell. The last part of 2 Peter 3:9 says the Lord was “…not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” Common sense tells us, “any” means any, and “all” means all. Not that all will, but He wants them all to.
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
Make sense?
WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:
On Sundays, we encourage you to attend your local church and listen intently to what God has prepared in the heart of your Pastor. Write down all the scriptures he uses in that message, then, when you get home re-read those passages for today’s reading. God has given to your Pastor exactly what He desires for you on that day.
