The Patience of God
"Yahweh—Yahweh is a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in faithful love and truth" - Ex 34:6
"Long-suffering is an ability or power in God not only to delay the execution of His wrath for a time towards some, but to delay it in order to show grace in the salvation of others." - John Flavel
"God is Patient, Psalm 103.8; Job 21:7. God's patience is that whereby he bears the reproach of sinners and defers their punishments; or it is the most bountiful will of God, whereby he doth long bear with sin which he hateth, sparing sinners, not minding their destruction, but that he might bring them to repentance. See Acts 13:18" Leigh, Body of Divinity, II. xiii (p.299),
