Rest

Hebrews 4:2-3 (NIV)

2 For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith. 3 Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, "So I declared on oath in my anger, 'They shall never enter my rest.' " And yet his work has been finished since the creation of the world.

These words are vital to living in the Kingdom of God. You must enter to His rest, but as the Lord states in Hebrews 4:2, you can only enter His rest if you take the gospel and combine it with your faith will you be able to enter His rest. If you don’t use your faith, what good will the Word of God do for you?!

You have to have faith to attain anything in life-what makes anyone think differently?...

‘Rest’ is the key word, just thinking about it naturally would bring a feeling of relief knowing that in Christ we can go on and not be worn out or ready to give up.

There will be many people who will hear the word of God and never hold on to it, because they lack faith.

To have faith is to believe that even though you may not be able to see something you still believe it exists. If you can believe that God not only exists, but wants the very best for us and will provide it, you cannot enter His rest. 

We sometimes think it is up to God to prove Himself to us every time we have any doubts in Him and His abilities, but we are to stay close to Him in faith that He is who He says He is and that we will not be given anything that we cannot handle. He has finished all that He has to do, as stated at the end of verse 3, He has finished His work, now it us up to us to follow through and learn from His word.
