As surely as I live, says the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of wicked people. I only want them to turn from their wicked ways so they can live. Turn! Turn from your wickedness, O people of Israel! Why should you die? [Ezekiel 33.11]
What is God like?
To be sure, God wants no human being to die. Death is not, nor ever was, God's plan.
Instead, God only desires that all repent and turn from their wickedness.
Father, I am grateful for the simple explanations in the Bible about Your character. Forgive us - forgive me - for ever doubting Your character or Your concern for me. May my life reveal Your goodness - Your mercy - that endures forever!
