Not so. ( Titus 3 v 3 - 7 )

Someone said ,'that there's a limit to God's patience and grace,'the question is ,what happens them? the fact is God will act in a way that  he judges   appropriate.One of the worse Kings the Bible was king Manasseh,he ruled Judah for 55 yrs,we can read about him in 2 King 21 and 2 Chronicles 33,the people on the whole went along with him.,it is important to remember that,he did not do the evil on his own.We read that they did more evil than the other nations around them,we read that God spoke to  Manasseh and the people, but they paid no attention ,so God acted against the king and the nation,by sending the Assyrian army  against them,and conquering them. The Assyrians were a very cruel people,Manasseh was taken back captive to Assyria, they put a hook in his nose,and bound him with bronze shackles. Well, it was time he got his comeuppance, the rascal,but the story does not finish there, for we read,that in his distress he sought the favour of the Lord his God,he humbled himself greatly before the Lord, he forgive him,and brought him back to Jerusalem as king.We read that then he knew that the Lord was God,his repentance was sincere, evidence by what he did.When I read this I am amazed,that God did not destroy this man, but He didn't, why?,' because there is a wideness in God's mercy like the wideness of the sea; for the love of God is broader ,than the measure of man's mind,for the heart of the eternal,is most wonderfully kind.' Words by F.W. Faber. One would have thought ,that it was the end of Manasseh, Gods patience and grace,was exhausted,but not so. Jesus our Saviour came for one purpose to save sinners, even people like Manasseh,  can be be forgiven,if they truly repent, and trust in Jesus.
