So many people have never come to God and many have left God. God is patient towards all, but one day His patience will wear thin, and God will execute judgment upon all. We read in Joel, chapter two in verse 12-13: "Yet even now, declares the LORD, Return to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, weeping, and mourning; and rend your heart and not your garments. Now return to the LORD your God, for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness, and relenting of evil."
God wants what He has always wanted. Our whole heart. We are to love the Lord our God with all our heart, and with all our soul, and our might, as Moses commanded them in Deuteronomy 6:5.
When we learn we have caused harm to the cause of Christ, or have done things that are against God's will, we should repent, and show the signs of repentance.
Our God is compassionate and full of grace. His patience is our salvation if we truly repent before we die.
God will not tolerate evil, and has given us all ample time to correct our behavior. If you have not done so, please consider the consequences of failing to return to the Lord your God.
