What does it mean that God is slow to anger?

Answered in 2 sources

God's being slow to anger means He is patient and long-suffering with humanity, allowing time for repentance.

When Scripture describes God as slow to anger, it highlights His patience and mercy towards sinners. In Nahum, it is noted that God is slow to anger, which indicates His willing delay in executing judgment. This is not an indication of weakness or indifference; rather, it reflects God's desire for repentance and reconciliation. God's slowness to anger gives believers confidence that He is in control and that justice will ultimately be served, affirming that He is working out His perfect plan in His perfect timing.
