God is very merciful, but He is just and righteous as well. When people disregard warning and entreaty, then law steps in. I once heard a woman tell her husband about a man whom they both knew very well and who had just died suddenly.
The man exclaimed, “What a terrible thing to be called away like that without any chance of getting ready!”
His wife could not help replying, “Without any chance of getting ready! Why, he had fifty-four years of chances!”
Yes, it is perfectly true that the Lord “is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (
2 Peter 3:9
9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9)
). But it is just as true that “he, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy” (
Prov. 29:1
1
He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. (Proverbs 29:1)
).
