We must not listen to words of unbelief.

Regarding the land of Canaan promised by God,

because of the bad report of the evil men (Num. 14:37) which led to complaining (13:32),

the entire congregation of Israel wept all night (14:1),

and they even murmured against Moses and Aaron (v. 2).

Furthermore, the murmuring Israelites went so far as to appoint a leader and return to Egypt (v. 4).

The reason for this was that the Israelites were afraid

because of the bad report spoken by the ten spies (v. 9).

We must be very cautious and vigilant against listening to the words of unbelief

from those who do not believe in God.

The reason is that if we listen to their words of unbelief, fear will arise in our hearts.

We must be very cautious about fear in our hearts

because if fear arises in our hearts, we will rebel against God (v. 9).
