How do we know God is long-suffering?

Answered in 1 source

God’s long-suffering is evidenced by His patience throughout history, providing opportunities for repentance before judgment.

God’s long-suffering is demonstrated through His historical dealings with humanity, particularly in the story of Noah, where He waited for a significant period while the ark was prepared. This period shows God's desire for repentance and salvation for His people. The narrative connects with the broader theme in Scripture about God’s patience as seen in 2 Peter 3:9, where it states He is long-suffering towards each of His elect. This patience is rooted in His sovereign will and desire to fully redeem those whom He has chosen, ensuring none of His people perishes without the opportunity for faith in Him.
