VIII. MAIN BODY:

Numbers 14:18 (Amplified Bible)

The Lord is long-suffering and slow to anger, and abundant in mercy and loving-kindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and fourth generation.

Numbers 14:18 (New International Version)

'The Lord is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation.'

A. The LORD's Patience

"The Lord is long-suffering and slow to anger, and abundant in mercy and loving-kindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression;"

The LORD's Patience is described as:

1. The LORD is long-suffering

2. The LORD is slow to anger

3. The LORD is abundant in mercy and loving-kindness

4. The LORD is forgiving iniquity and transgression

Explanation:

1. The LORD is long-suffering

Long-suffering (w/ or w/o hyphen) means Bearing injuries or provocation for a long time; patient; not easily provoked. Long endurance; patience of offense. (defined by Webster's dictionary)

Romans 2:4 (Amplified Bible)

Or are you [so blind as to] trifle with and presume upon and despise and underestimate the wealth of His kindness and forbearance and long-suffering patience? Are you unmindful or actually ignorant [of the fact] that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repent (to change your mind and inner man to accept God’s will)?

2. The LORD is slow to anger

Slow to anger, great mercy or "chesed" in Hebrew meaning: kindness, piety, mercy, merciful.

Psalms 145:8 (Amplified Bible)

The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and abounding in mercy and loving-kindness.

3. The LORD is abundant in mercy and loving-kindness

Loving-kindness means Tender regard; mercy; favor. (defined by Webster's dictionary)

Titus 3:4 (Amplified Bible)

But when the goodness and loving-kindness of God our Savior to man [as man] appeared,

2 Corinthians 12:9 (Amplified Bible)

But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!

We can't understand GOD but the LORD JESUS CHRIST more than helped us (infinitely) understand GOD and being full of loving-kindness, we can always trace it back to the LORD JESUS CHRIST. If we try to understand GOD, our finite mind will explode understanding the Infinite One, however, the LORD JESUS CHRIST laid it down for us to understand GOD in His Great Mercies and Loving-Kindness.

To my roman catholics friends, JESUS CHRIST is full of Great Mercy not the mother but JESUS.

4. The LORD is forgiving iniquity and transgression

The LORD is always forgiving. Forgiving means Pardoning; remitting. (defined by Webster's dictionary)

It's always a moment-by-moment forgiving attitude of the LORD JESUS that allows us to come to His throne with boldness.

Hebrews 4:16 (Amplified Bible)

Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God’s unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it].

ILLUSTRATION:

And we are His sons, a faithful servant is alright with his master, as long as he does not commit a mistake, but when that one mistake comes all relationship are broken with the master, however, when the son even in his faithfulness are forgiven by his father for his mistakes, it's because blood is thicker than water. There's always a relationship that will remain and that is father and son relationship.

B. The LORD will not leave the guilty unpunished

"but He will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and fourth generation"

Exodus 20:5 (Amplified Bible)

You shall not bow down yourself to them or serve them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me,

Exodus 34:7 (Amplified Bible)

Keeping mercy and loving-kindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but Who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children, to the third and fourth generation.

Jeremiah 23:2 (Amplified Bible)

Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the shepherds who care for and feed My people: You have scattered My flock and driven them away and have not visited and attended to them; behold, I will visit and attend to you for the evil of your doings, says the Lord.

The guilty are the ones that rejected the LORD JESUS CHRIST as LORD, MASTER and SAVIOR for sure they have heard the gospel preached to them many times but they have rejected. Surely GOD will never leave Himself without a witness. Even the nature for example the rains is always a witness to GOD'S goodness.

Acts 14:17 (Amplified Bible)

Yet He did not neglect to leave some witness of Himself, for He did you good and [showed you] kindness and gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with nourishment and happiness.

IX. CONCLUSION:

Praise, worship, glorify, adore, bless, honor, acknowledge and thank You very much LORD JESUS for You are good and upright, slow to anger, long-suffering, with great mercy and the Great Mercy Himself Personified for You alone will instruct the sinners even in their darkest moment.
