The Lord is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, forgiving iniquity and transgression, but he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, to the third and the fourth generation. Numbers 14:18

In the book of Numbers, Moses interceded for the people of Israel, he said, Lord, “Please pardon the iniquity of these people, according to the greatness of your steadfast love, just as you have forgiven these people, from Egypt until now. The Lord replied, ‘I have forgiven them, as you asked. Yet, as surely as I live and as surely as the whole earth is filled with the glory of the Lord, not one of the men who have seen My glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness—yet have tested Me and disobeyed Me these ten times—not one will ever see the land I swore to give their fathers. None of those who have treated Me with contempt will see it.’ O Lord our God, You answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, yet an avenger of their misdeeds.”  My brothers and sister sin Christ, so too the Lord will forgive us, but he is keeping a record of our deeds.
