How do we know God is patient?

Answered in 2 sources

God's patience is evidenced in His long-suffering nature, as described in Scriptures like 2 Peter 3:9 and Exodus 34:6.

God's patience is clearly revealed throughout Scripture. In 2 Peter 3:9, we learn that the Lord is not willing that any of His elect should perish but is long-suffering towards us, giving time for repentance and faith. This underscores God's grace and mercy towards sinners. Additionally, in Exodus 34:6, God's declaration of attributes includes that He is 'merciful and gracious, longsuffering.' This means that God not only possesses patience but actively demonstrates it in His dealings with humanity, allowing opportunities for repentance and growth. His patience encourages us to reflect that same attribute in our relationships with others, fostering a community built on grace.
