How to Enter God's Rest: Hebrews 4Sampel

# How To Enter Rest ## Applying the idea and the invitation to enter God’s rest through faith. A. Let us therefore : This phrase, or this idea, appears repeatedly in the Book of Hebrews. A doctrinal truth is presented – in this case, the truth of a remaining rest available by faith – then the truth is applied. B. Be diligent to enter that rest : The rest is there, but God does not force it upon us. We must enter that rest . Clearly, the rest is entered by faith ; but it takes diligent faith. This shows us that faith is not passive ; it takes diligence to trust in, rely on, and cling to Jesus and His work for us. C. Lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience : If we are not diligent to enter that rest , the result can be a disaster. We may fall according to the same example of disobedience . We may fall , even as the children of Israel did in the wilderness. Based on the Enduring Word Bible Commentary by David Guzik.
