Are we not recipients of longsuffering and mercy?
Numbers 14:18
'The Lord is longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth, taking away lawlessness, wrongdoings, and sins; but He would not cleanse the guilty by repaying the sins of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation.'
Encouraging Words...
Moses reminds us here that even though God could uphold His covenant with the early fathers by holding them accountable for their sins, even to their future generations, He did not. Why? Because God is love, and in His love He chooses to be longsuffering and abundant in mercy toward us. He forgives us and is not the judgmental, legalistic God that so many make Him out to be. Glory be to God!
