What does the Bible say about God's will not wanting anyone to perish?

Answered in 1 source

2 Peter 3:9 states that God is not willing that any should perish, emphasizing His desire for the salvation of His elect.

In 2 Peter 3:9, it is revealed that God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. This verse underscores the long-suffering nature of God toward His people, whom He has chosen for salvation. The context of this scripture is God's promise of Christ's return, where He assures the elect that His delay is due to His grace allowing time for all who will be saved to come to faith. This truth stands against the false notion of universal atonement, reinforcing the belief that Christ's sacrifice is specific and efficacious for God's chosen ones.
