4 Bible Verses about Forbearance Of God

For God showed him publicly dying as a sacrifice of reconciliation to be taken advantage of through faith.

The Lord is not slow about his promise, in the sense that some men think; he is really showing his patience with you, because he does not want any to perish, but wishes all men to be brought to repentance. The Day of the Lord will come like a thief; on it the heavens will pass away with a roar, the heavenly bodies will burn up and be destroyed, and the earth and all its works will melt away.

He was abused but he did not retort. He suffered but he did not threaten, but committed his case to him who judges justly.
