God’s Rest and the Danger of Unbelief

Hebrews 4:1-13

4
Chapter 4
1 Let us therefore fear lest, a promise being left to enter into his rest, anyone of you should seem to have fallen short. 2 For we also have had the gospel proclaimed, just as they did. But the word they heard did not benefit them, since they did not mix it with faith. 3 For we who have believed enter that rest, just as he has said: "As I swore in my wrath, 'They shall never enter my rest,'" although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For he has said somewhere concerning the seventh day: "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works," 5 and again in this passage: "They shall never enter my rest." 6 Since therefore some remain to enter into it, and those to whom the gospel was formerly proclaimed did not enter because of disobedience, 7 again he defines a certain day, Today, in David saying after so much time, just as it has been said before, "Today if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts." 8 For if Jesus had given them rest, he would not have spoken of another day after these things. 9 Therefore a Sabbath rest remains for the people of God. 10 For the one who entered into his rest also rested from his works, just as God from his own. 11 Let us therefore make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one falls by the same example of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of joints also and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And there is no created thing hidden from him, but all things are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
