Hi Blogger
Hebrews 4:1 Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. 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,
- It is easy to misunderstand the central promise of Christianity.
- It is not: work hard to earn the eternal rest.
- It is: In Christ God has worked hard to earn the eternal rest for us.
- Who is the 'us'? Those that believe that this Gospel is true.
Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, I must confess that my confidence in your promise comes and goes in direct relation to the amount of 'good' or 'bad' things I do. Help me instead to get my confidence in your promise of rest not from my own life but from yours - the fact that Christ has risen and entered your rest just like I will through faith in Him! Amen
