For God's purpose, according to which He did not make the human being

"For God's purpose, according to which He did not make the human being to 
perish but to live forever, abides unchanging. When His kindness sees 
shining in us the slightest glimmer of good will, which He Himself has in 
fact sparked from the hard flint of our heart, He fosters it, stirs it up, 
and strengthens it with His inspiration, 'desiring all to be saved and to 
come to the knowledge of the truth.' For He says, 'it is not the will of 
your Father Who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.' 
And again He says, 'God does not wish a soul to perish, but He withdraws 
and reflects, lest one who has been cast down perish utterly.'"

"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his 
commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."
 Ecclesiastes 12:13

Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
