What Is Patience?
God’s Patience Towards Us
Why is God so patient with us?
- So That Satan Might Not Sift Us When We Fail
- So There’s No Distance Between Us and Him When We Fail
- So That Our Failures Aren’t the Final Word
- So That Our Failures Won’t Disqualify Us
- So That Our Failures Will Lead Us to Repentance
