the answer is do not put the Lord to test

De_Luffy is right, but why no one died earlier?
I think Romans 4:15 explains it.
because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law there is no transgression.

well as earlier UW pointed out after the law was introduced when the Israelite complained they died right? but before the law was introduced no one died
Yeah Luffy but they tested God before the law was given, why they didn't die?
Same God, same testing by the people Israel but no death. After the Law was given, there is death.
Do you know before the Law was given from the time of Adam until Mount Sinai, before the 10 commandment was handed into Moses Hand
was a period of God's Grace? That's the answer why they didn't die.
Yup Yaokb, it's amazing isn't it? Where there is no Law, There is no transgression. Romans 5:13 (KJV) testify that:
For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.God started with Grace and He ended with Grace even Today is a period of God's Grace. Why? Because Jesus came, He is the persona of Grace In fact the Gospel is called the
Gospel of God's Grace. (Acts 20:24).
What's my point in all this?
Grace is not a subject, it's the person of God. Grace was his original plan with Man, Now He restoring that plan.
We need to cast out Law (Galatians 4:30) because it's was never in the intention of God to give us that. We're the one who asked for ...it's typified when Eve took hold of the fruit of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
Now casting out Law does not mean we go and subject ourselves to sin as we like. What it means is that We move ourselves closer to God and depend and have Faith FULLY on his Grace for everything in our life, (
how to go about in life, our livelihood, our correct living) not the Law. Law represent everything about self, self confidence, self effort while Grace represent everything about God. Receiving good when we don't deserve it.
We need to receive God's Grace not just receive but receive it in abundance, to reign in life or in other words to be victorious. (Romans 5:17)
This is all from the Bible.
