God gives warnings and encouragement so their hearts does not get hardened. Heb. 3:13<\/p>\n
Fire in our souls to do what is right. Num. 14 \u2013 Anyone over 20 was not able to enter the promise land except Joshua and Caleb. The others died due to their unbelief and unfaithfulness.<\/p>\n
Ch. 4:1 \u2013 A promise remains, a rest we should strive for: To learn the arguments.<\/p>\n
Therefore, connects Chapter 4 with Chapter 3<\/p>\n
Let us fear \u2013 To maintain faith vs.2<\/p>\n
Gospel simply means Good news.<\/p>\n
They heard the good news, the rest. If you didn\u2019t profit, it was not mixed with faith.<\/p>\n
Beware not to fall with those they do not believe.<\/p>\n
We mist not waver. Vs. 2 says we must rest. \u00a0God planned for Christians to have rest, peace. Even though it was offered, they did not take it.<\/p>\n
He offered it to the ones going to the promised land. Even though just the young ones went in. What about those who entered the promised land?<\/p>\n
Vs. 7 After today you will be given rest. Psalm 95<\/p>\n
Vs. 8 Joshua \u2013 King James is Jesus, Greek word is same as Joshua. \u00a0In context, it should be Joshua, who lead them.<\/p>\n
The promise was not fullfilled in the Israelites. Verse 3-6 It wasn\u2019t fulfilled when David spoke. Vs. 7-8<\/p>\n
Rest was ready since creation.<\/p>\n
Some must tend to that rest.<\/p>\n
Israelite\u2019s did not enter that rest. \u00a0The rest remains in verse 9.<\/p>\n
What is the punishment?<\/p>\n
Trying to keep Jesus faithful, What is their motivation? Rest?<\/p>\n
Verse 13: Why is it worth it to them?<\/p>\n
You need to stay faithful \u2013 look forward to rest \u2013 desire it.<\/p>\n
Are you working toward it? Eph. 2:19 \u2013 Fellow citizens of Heaven \u2013 Phil. 3:20-21<\/p>\n
2 Cor. 5:1 There is a better place than here. Rev. 22:1-5 Vision, figurative<\/p>\n
What are you willing to sacrifice? Willing to give?<\/p>\n
The rest remains. Know where you can \u00a0reap your blessings. Rst is \u201d a cessation from labor.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rest means we can stop working. \u00a0Ready? \u00a0When does God judge us?<\/p>\n
Find rest: Believe, Repent, Confess, Be Baptized and Be faithful to God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
