How to Enter God's Rest: Hebrews 4Sampel

# Our Rest Is Like God’s Rest ## The rest for God’s people is like God’s own rest. A. We who have believed do enter that rest : This is in contrast to the previously mentioned ones who did not enter into God’s rest. Unbelief keeps many out of God’s rest; faith ( we who have believed ) guides God’s people into this rest . B. My rest : This quote from Psalm 95:11 demonstrates that this rest is God’s ; it is His rest. God finished His work of creation long before Israel came into Egypt or before David wrote Psalm 95 (Genesis 2:2). Yet, although the works were finished from the foundation of the world , He still spoke of “ My rest ” – demonstrating that God still has this rest. * This rest is after the pattern of God’s own rest on the seventh day from all His works , as described in the quote from Genesis 2:2. * In a certain place reminds us that ancient scrolls were somewhat unwieldy, and specific passages were not precisely cited according to our more modern tools of chapter and verse.
