How does God demonstrate His long-suffering towards humanity?

Answered in 1 source

God's long-suffering is evident in His patience and mercy, allowing sinners time to repent and turn to Him.

2 Peter 3:9 mentions that the Lord is not willing that any should perish but desires that all should come to repentance. This long-suffering nature of God is a reflection of His overflowing grace and mercy. Luke captures this beautifully through the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15, showcasing a father who waits patiently for his son's return. It reminds us that God continues to actively pursue and call His people to Himself, even after they have strayed. His long-suffering is a testament to His love and commitment to redeeming His chosen people, assuring us that no matter how far we may wander, He remains ready to restore and forgive.
