Rest in Faith
6 Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience, 7 again he appoints a certain day, “Today,” saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted,
“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.”
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. 9 So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, 10 for whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.
Heb 4:6–10

Rest in Faith
The promise of God’s rest remains open, inviting all who hear His Word to enter through faith. Yet, this rest is not something we achieve by our efforts. Hebrews reminds us that the Israelites, though they heard God’s promises, failed to enter His rest because of unbelief. The same warning applies to us: the hardness of an unbelieving heart closes the door to God’s rest. But Christ has opened the way. By His death on the cross, Jesus bore the weight of our sin and unbelief, accomplishing what we never could. Through His resurrection, He guarantees the rest that God has promised, a rest not limited to the Sabbath or the Promised Land but a perfect, eternal rest in His presence. Today, we cling to Christ by faith, trusting in His finished work. In Him, we find rest for our weary souls and hope that endures forever.
