Moses was a great leader..........fearless, and so devoted to the Lord. Yet he was not allowed by the Lord to enter into the wonderful Promised Land. Can you tell why God denied him this wonderful blessing?

That is a great question and you received great answers.
Pastor Art pointed to Numbers 20. The link below is the New King James Version. Verse 12 "Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.”
It was a matter of unelief in God, and not just a matter about not believing what God said..
It is a lesson where in Revelations no unbeliever will enter in the kingdom of heaven.
Fortunately a nonnbeliever can make it into heaven, as long as they repent. For Moses must have repented because he is listed as an example of faith in Hebrews 11:23-29. And he was one of the ones that was with Jesus on the Mount of transfiguration.
But in that lesson of unbelief. God used Moses to do many signs before Eygpt and all the countries around them. Even the peoples he would later conqurered knew about God's power through Moses.
Believers have a higher standard of living and belief, that unbelievers don't have. They can sin all they want to. But believers cannot sin, because the one they are in a relationship with, God, is Holy. He is free of sin. And God hates sin. And unbelief is sin.
God fulfilled his promise to Moses that the nation of Israel would go into the promise land.
God bless

BOTH Moses and Aaron failed to sanctify Jehovah in connection with the miraculous provision of water at Meribah in the Kadesh area. Therefore they lost the privilege of entering the Promised Land. This event seems to have occurred in the 40th year of Israel’s wilderness wanderings.—Nu 20:1, 9-13, 22-28; 33:38, 39.

He was the Last of the Hard heads that left Egypt on a journey that should have only took a few days. They all kept taking laps around that desert. Moses disobeyed God and God took him and nobody knows where he was buried. The Mantel was given to Joshua and their generation. Joshua 1, Numbers, Deuteronomy 34:5..He did not die because he married Zipporah. She was the one who told him about God and she was from Midian also see Genesis 10.

He disobeyed God at one point in the wilderness journey by striking a rock with his rod when he was told to speak to the rock to get water. That's always seemed kind of harsh to me, but God wants us to completely trust and obey him--I think I have heard a sermon explaining that this illustrates the difference between "works and grace"---speaking to the rock would show the power of God more than striking the rock, which might look like the power was from Moses.

God asked Moses to speak to the stone to receive water for the people but Moses struck the rock with his staff, disobeying God instructions.

Assuming you're employing the Bible and not the e book of Mormon or yet another such corruption/pretend 'holy e book', then i'll in difficulty-unfastened words think of of of the human beings of Shinar, who equipped the Tower of Babel contained interior the section later difficulty-unfastened as Babylon, at present day Iraq (Gen. 11:one million-10). We fairly plenty ALL originate from precise right here, and persons who have not difficulty-unfastened Christ as God, Lord and Saviour -- which contain 2/3 of Jews alive contained interior the 7-3 hundred and sixty 5 days Tribulation era (see Zech. Ch's 12-14) -- are amassed to this conflict for Judgement (Revelation financial catastrophe sixteen - 20). If no longer, then i'm sorry, yet you have overwhelmed me. God bless you as you paintings for Christ.

Moses' mission was to lead his people to the promised land. God never promised it to Moses. He fulfilled his promise to God.

because he disobeyed the Lord and hit the rock three times in a fit of anger.

He sinned against God by hitting the rock more times than God instructed him to thus he showed a lack of trust and faith.
