The Lord's Spirit will not strive with man forever

[Duck]

Numbers 14

rebel not against The Lord - Nothing can ruin sinners but their own rebellion. If God leaves them, it is because they drive Him from them, and they die, because, they will die.

Numbers 12

And the anger of The LORD was kindled against them; and He departed.

God departed - The removal of God's presence from us, is the saddest token of His displeasure. And He never departs, till we, by our sin and folly drive Him from us.

Ain't it great to be living in the body of Christ, no longer under the law.
God said; it is finished. He will never leave me, nor forsake me.
He paid in full with his blood. (The LAST sacrifice)

I am born into him, his spirit lives in me. Can I save myself by my obedience?
Can I maintain perfectly my life in Christ?   NO!

Not I!   But Christ in me does through me, who will never leave me. His part. And...Amen.
 Besides, I desire to do the good works he has called me to.  My part.

He will not let me rebel. He can/will use the big stick when needed.......

We are parts, individuals, of the body of Christ. Not a corporate nation sacrificing animal blood.

Look when He said this.. then Christ came. And He will never leave us nor forsake us.  Didn't come to condemn the world but to save it and He is out there right this second doing that. Even during the great trib.. 144k, angel sharing the good news. No one loves this world and ever soul in it like the GOD that made them. Oh give me that desire for the lost..

...“Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.  For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’;  and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ "....

 Elsewhere:  

..."What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not!  For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.”  So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.  For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.” Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens.

 You will say to me then, “Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?”  But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?”  Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?

What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much long suffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,  and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory,  even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?"....

Or that God has created beforehand, some things including some humans, for the very purpose of showing His Glory, His power, His wrath.
