[PhilipFreneau]

We must listen to the Words of the Lord and act according to His teachings. We are not free to ignore Him or His Words and expect salvation simply because we think we are "entitled" to it. Luke 6:46-49.

What you said is definitely in the Bible, but I hesitate to ignore Peter's declaration regarding the Lord's longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

God is not willing that any perish, true. However, some will, and it isn't because God chooses that. If I would have chosen to disbelieve, then I would perish. Free will can lead to salvation, but it shall also lead to other's damnation. That thought does not make me happy. But it is the truth. Therefore, it is incumbent upon us to "go and tell," so that others will hear the Word and thereby believe. Even the angels in heaven rejoice when another believer shall be added to the roles of heaven.
