Press on to enter His Rest!
Scripture reading for October 18th: Hebrews 4
Key Scriptures for over-comers: Hebrews 4:11-13 “Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience. For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.”
The writer of Hebrews used the example of the nation of Israel and their failure to enter the promised land because of the ten spies evil report. He warned New Testament believers of the importance of hearing and believing God’s word. We must act in obedience on what God said through His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus is our Sabbath rest. Today is the day to rest in His finished work! Failure to enter into Christ’s salvation rest is known to God and will be made evident on the day of Christ!
Observations for over-comers: Today is the day of Sabbath rest in Christ Jesus! Live by faith in His finished work! “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.” (Psalm 95:7-8, Hebrews 3:7, 4:15)
