Let’s look at what our God says of himself at Mt. Sinai.

Exodus 345 Then the LORD came down in the

cloud and stood there with

[Moses] and proclaimed his name,

the LORD. 6 And he passed in front

of Moses, proclaiming, “The LORD,

the LORD, the compassionate and

gracious God, slow to

anger, abounding in love and

faithfulness, 7 maintaining love to

thousands, and forgiving

wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet

he does not leave the guilty

unpunished; he punishes the

children and their children for the

sin of the parents to the third and

fourth generation.”
