International Children’s Bible

Hebrews 3:4-13 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

4. Every family has its head, but God is the head of everything.

5. Moses was faithful in God’s family as a servant. He told what God would say in the future.

6. But Christ is faithful as a Son who is the head of God’s family. And we are God’s family if we hold on to our faith and are proud of the great hope we have.

7. So it is as the Holy Spirit says:“Today listen to what he says.

8. Do not be stubborn as in the pastwhen you turned against God.There you tested God in the desert.

9. For 40 years in the desert your ancestors saw the things I did.But they tested me and my patience.

10. I was angry with them.I said, ‘They are not loyal to me.They have not understood my ways.’

11. So I was angry and made a promise.‘They will never enter my land of rest.’” Psalm 95:7-11

12. So brothers, be careful that none of you has an evil, unbelieving heart. This will stop you from following the living God.

13. But encourage each other every day. Do this while it is “today.” Help each other so that none of you will become hardened because of sin and its tricks.
