Hebrews 4:3-7,11 - For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, “As I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter my rest,’” although his works were finished from the foundation of the world. For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.” And again in this passage he said, “They shall not enter my rest.” Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience, 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.”… Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience.
Psalm 95:11 - Therefore I swore in my wrath, “They shall not enter my rest.”
Application:
· Will I enjoy God’s presence forever?
· Salvation-rest is entered only by faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ
· The opposite of perseverance is disobedience, the sin of the faithless exodus generation
