—Hebrews 4:1-11
by: Cheri Appel.
These verses in Hebrews refer to eternal rest, with examples of Sabbath, God’s peace, and the Promised Land. They mention past people who heard the gospel but did not have faith to believe and obey God’s call to salvation. His rest was not offered once and then taken away but is still offered today. Where do you stand on this issue of ultimate importance? Do you enjoy God’s peace, being assured of your salvation? A friend asks, “If people hear the gospel and say they believe but do not obey, are they truly saved?” What are you saying to others who fall short of God’s eternal rest?
