Numbers 14:28-30 NLT
Now tell them this: ‘As surely as I live, declares the Lord, I will do to you the very things I heard you say. You will all drop dead in this wilderness! Because you complained against me, every one of you who is twenty years old or older and was included in the registration will die. You will not enter and occupy the land I swore to give you. The only exceptions will be Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.’
Unbelief Is Sin
Exodus 15:14-15 NLT
The peoples hear and tremble; anguish grips those who live in Philistia. The leaders of Edom are terrified; the nobles of Moab tremble. All who live in Canaan melt away.
Romans 12:1-2 NIV
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 6:6-8 NIV
For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin— because anyone who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.

Today we talked about Numbers 14:28-30, but the story starts at verse 1. Check out Numbers 14:1-3; do you see any similarities between the Israelites complaints and God’s actions in verse 28?
We serve a just AND gracious God. How did God reveal His grace and mercy to the Israelites?
Apply to Your Life
In Romans 12:2, it says to “not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” This week, how can you actively renew your mind?
