 All that being said, please don't forget the words of 2 Peter 3, 9. God is not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hear it again. God is not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. So the standard remains the same. He doesn't lower it to make it easier. He doesn't diminish it so that you'll feel better about yourself.
