ooooooooooooong suffering is a major attribute of God.
(Exodus 34:6; Numbers 14:18; Psalms 86:15; Jeremiah 15:15;
Romans 2:4; 9:22; 2 Corinthians 6:6; 1 Peter 3:20; 2 Peter 3:15).
Longsuffering is a fruit of the Spirit, but it has its limitations, even with God.
The longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah while the ark was preparing
(1 Peter 3:20), but the time came when the obstinance of the people exhausted
the longsuffering of God and He destroyed the earth by the flood. God had
warned that His Spirit would not always strive with man (Genesis 6:3). God is said
to be longsuffering to usward, but it is not inexhaustible. He is not willing that any
should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9), but His
longsuffering does not outreach man's obstinance, wickedness and stubbornness."
(James P. Needham)
