No Pleasure in the Death of the Wicked

Ezekiel 33:11

Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

God doesn’t take pleasure in wicked people dying.  He wants them to turn from their ways and live.

II Peter 3:7-9

However, the current heavens and earth are by the same Word laid up for fire, being preserved for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly people.  Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your notice that one day with the Lord is like a thousand years, and a thousand years, as one day.  The Lord is not delaying the promise, as some consider it a delay, but He is long-suffering toward you, not wanting any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

God doesn’t want anyone to perish, He wants everyone to come to repentance.

I Timothy 2:3-4

This is good and acceptable in the sight of God, our Savior, Who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

God wants all people to be saved.
