1Cor 10:5 | MHM | STEP | v. 5 : But Paul warns, “with most of them God was not pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness” (1 Corinthians 10:5 ). Even though the Israelites had many blessings, most of them died in the desert because they disobeyed God. Paul says this so that Christians will not be proud or careless, thinking that spiritual privileges alone will save them. Only true faith and obedience to God will lead to eternal life.
