God searches and seeks after those who have a heart for God.
B. The remainder of Luke 18:8 is a bit sad. It ends with “Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
C. God is seeking those who have “real faith” in Him.
1. “Faith” in the Greek means: persuasion, credence, moral conviction (of the truthfulness of God), reliance upon Christ for salvation, fidelity.
2. God the Father is faithful to vindicate us as we request, but what about Him? Will He find faithfulness among us when He comes.
3. He desires all of us to come to repentance, so that none of us will perish. There is anguish in His heart because there are many who refuse Him, reject Him or disregard Him. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
