# Breckinridge: God is Not Willing That Any Should Perish

“In the whole revealed will of God, nothing is more distinctly stated, than that God is not willing that any should perish, but is willing that all should come to repentance; and he appeals to his own long-suffering for proof of what he says \[2 Peter 3:9\].” — [**Robert J. Breckinridge**](/authors/robert-jefferson-breckinridge), *The Knowledge of God, Subjectively Considered* (1859), p. 128
