Our Children Pay for the Sins of Their Parents
The Bible tells us that the future generations will pay for the sins of this generation. Basically, our children will reap what we sow. The Bible tells us in Numbers 13-14 that God told Moses to send out 12 scouts to check out Canaan, the promised land. They receive a report from ten of their scouts who tell them that the “promised land” is going to be impossible for them to obtain. That there are giants, the cities are well fortified and there is no way they can defeat them. The people of Israel were grumbling and talking bad about Moses and Aaron. They forgot all of the things that God had done for them in taking them out of slavery in Egypt and it really ticked God off. So he
punished the people of Israel.
In Numbers 14: 29-32, the Bible reports:
In this desert your bodies will fall—every one of you
twenty years old or more who was counted in the census and who has grumbled against me. Not one of you will enter the land I swore with uplifted hand to make your home, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun. As for your children that you said would be taken as plunder, I will bring them in to enjoy the land you have rejected. But you—your bodies will fall in this desert.
Finally, on point with this post,
God punished the younger generation of the Israelites, the children for the sin of their parents stating,
Your children will be shepherds here for forty years, suffering for your unfaithfulness, until the last of your bodies lies in the desert (Numbers 14: 33).
