The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
Citizens of the New Kingdom have experienced time and time again the longsuffering and patience of God. As sinners and enemies of the King we deserved the wrath of God not his love.
Citizens of the New Kingdom look around at this dark world and see the horrible effect of disobedience and depravity wondering how is it possible for a just God to seemingly ignore the evildoers of this world and not punish them as they deserve.
Citizens of the New Kingdom find the answer in this verse. King Jesus does not want anyone to perish. He wants all to repent and become citizens of the New Kingdom. He paid the price for every single sin no matter how heinous. Each person on earth has the same opportunity to partake of the new life he offers. The choice is ours.
