Twelve leaders were sent to explore the land that the LORD God had given. Upon return, ten leaders gave an evil report instigating rebellion & strife in relation to God and His Word; these believed & confessed inability to take (by faith) that bestowed of God. However, two leaders gave a good report encouraging obedience & agreement in relation to God and His Word; these believed & confessed ability to take (by faith) that bestowed of God. Each of the twelve leaders received exactly what was spoken out of their own mouths: the ten leaders and those encouraged to act contrary to God’s Word never entered into the land whereas the two leaders and those encouraged to trust God’s Word successfully entered into the land. Faith exhibits belief in the LORD God and confident trust in His way of doing regardless . . .
