Numbers 14:11 And the LORD said to Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me… 1. The heinousness of unbelief; shun it. 2. The large number and convincing character of the evidences of Christianity; remember that our faith should bear a proportion to them. "For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required," &c. 3. God takes our conduct as evidence of our belief or unbelief; let us show our faith by our works. "Faith without works is dead." "Faith worketh by love," &c. 4. Take heed lest we be disinherited because of unbelief (Romans 11:20, 21; Hebrews 3:12-4:11). (W. Jones.)
