Many believers often think about this matter and can’t take in why. First, they should look at the world. There are millions of people who don’t know about God. They have been worshiping other gods and idols not knowing the living God. However, God won’t let them live in the state ever, because they are also his children.
Every human being living in this world was born of God’s will. God has no partiality. So, he will send the Good news of Kingdom of God to them. Out of these millions of ungodly people, a few will listen to the gospel and accept it. For the sake the few people, God is doing late to come down again. Hence all we have to do is-to make the gospel spread to them according to God’s will. The people are also our neighbors. We shouldn’t expect their fall at our Lord’s second coming.
When God didn’t punish the People of Nineveh because of the change in them, Jonah was greatly displeased and became angry, as God didn’t overturn Nineveh. Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night. And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left.
Therefore, we must pray for our neighbors’ salvation and ask God to enable them to accept the gospel.
