1. Now God has left us that promise that we may enter and have his rest. Let us be very careful, then, so that none of you will fail to get that rest.
2. The Good News was preached to us just as it was to them. But the teaching they heard did not help them. They heard it but did not accept it with faith.
3. We who have believed are able to enter and have God’s rest. As God has said,“So I was angry and made a promise.‘They will never enter my land of rest.’” Psalm 95:11But God’s work was finished from the time he made the world.
4. Somewhere in the Scriptures he talked about the seventh day of the week: “And on the seventh day God rested from all his work.”
5. And again in the Scripture God said, “They will never enter my land of rest.”
6. It is still true that some people will enter and have God’s rest. But those who first heard the way to be saved did not enter. They did not enter because they did not obey.
