God’s Justice
“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 parents to the third and fourth generation.”
Numbers 14:18 NIV

God’s justice seem unfair. Why should sin blot the lives of children for their parents’ sin? Sin has a way of smothering the rest of the family. It becomes a collective way of life. The children model after their parents and unless sin is eradicated, it is passed on from one generation to the next.
