How do we know God is not willing that any of His elect should perish?

Answered in 1 source

2 Peter 3:9 affirms that God is long-suffering towards His elect, desiring that all should come to repentance rather than perish.

In 2 Peter 3:9, we understand that God's long-suffering is directed towards the elect, emphasizing His divine desire for them to repent and be saved. This verse counters the notion that God is indifferent towards the salvation of individuals; instead, it illustrates His sovereign grace in patiently gathering His chosen people. The context highlights that while mockers may question the timing of Christ's return, God’s delay is purposeful, ensuring that His elect are brought to faith before the Day of the Lord arrives.
