Numbers 15:2
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,
In chapter 14 Israel is sentenced to wander in the wilderness for 40 years as a result of their unbelief at Kadesh Barnea. It is worth taking note though, that immediately following the sentence God gives them instructions about what to do when they do enter the Promised Land.
Though they have forfeited their own entrance God wanted them to know they could not forfeit His promise for all of Israel and for all of time.
Our own sins may cost us. The consequences may be severe, but God's promises are sure and eternal and inviolable by men. What God has said is true and sure regardless of men and no man, or generation of men, is able to spoil His promise.
