Passages that reveal the heart of God

This week we looked at God’s heart for mission. Here are some of the passages from the Bible that reveal God’s heart for all people to come to him and be saved.

Ezekiel 18:23 - “‘Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked?’ declares the sovereign LORD. Rather, am I not please when they turn from their ways and live?”

1 Timothy 2:3 - “This is good and pleases God our Saviour, who wants all people to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth”.

2 Peter 3:9 - “God is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance”.

Acts 4:12 - “Salvation is found in no-one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved”.
