John 12
Many people will say that Jesus' patience is unlimited and I don't believe this to be true...we only have the time we are living to live as Jesus commands us to live and then all believers are held accountable for their life. If you are not a believer then unfortunately (what an understatement) you are eternally damned to hell.
God is patient of course more so than we can ever be, but He does not guarantee us that His patience will never run out.
Ultimately, as Billy Graham points here on page 21 of this PDF:
The Bible is clear elsewhere that our days are numbered - see here.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are a great God and You have enormous patience for me and You have already provided more 2nd chances than I deserve. I am weak, lazy, selfish, etc. Thank You for Your patience and for loving me no less - despite my sin. Please forgive me for such sin and help me turn from such sin and towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength. Help me love others as myself and help me grow in my faith.
"Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light.” v36

"Believers will not be judged for their sin, for Christ dealt with our sin on the cross at Calvary. Instead, at the judgment seat, our work on earth for Christ’s Kingdom will be evaluated and rewarded according to God’s perfect righteousness and justice".
