How do we know God is slow to anger?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture reveals that God is 'slow to anger' in Nahum, illustrating His patience with sinners.

The phrase 'slow to anger' is a repeated biblical theme, particularly found in Nahum 1:3. This quality indicates not that God lacks anger against sin, but rather that He exercises profound patience, giving sinners time to repent. God's slowness to anger does not mean He ignores wickedness; rather, it leads to the fulfillment of His perfect timing in judgment and grace. His anger is real and just but is restrained by His merciful nature, awaiting repentance.
