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.
7. So God planned another day, called “today.” He spoke about that day through David a long time later. It is the same Scripture used before:“Today listen to what he says.Do not be stubborn.” Psalm 95:7-8
8. We know that Joshua did not lead the people into that rest. We know this because God spoke later about another day.
9. This shows that the seventh-day rest for God’s people is still coming.
10. For anyone who enters and has God’s rest will rest from his work as God did.
