Hebrews:4:1-13
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Let us fear therefore ,
lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest .
*
For indeed we have had good news preached to us ,
even as they also did ,
but the word they heard didn '
t profit them ,
because it wasn '
t mixed with faith by those who heard .
*
For we who have believed do enter into that rest ,
even as he has said , "
As I swore in my wrath ,
they will not enter into my rest "; {
Psalm strkjv @
95:11 }
although the works were finished from the foundation of the world .
*
For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day , "
God rested on the seventh day from all his works "; {
Genesis strkjv @
2:2 }
*
and in this place again , "
They will not enter into my rest ." {
Psalm strkjv @
95:11 }
*
Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter therein ,
and they to whom the good news was before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience ,
*
he again defines a certain day ,
today ,
saying through David so long a time afterward (
just as has been said ), "
Today if you will hear his voice ,
don '
t harden your hearts ." {
Psalm strkjv @
95:7-8 }
*
For if Joshua had given them rest ,
he would not have spoken afterward of another day .
*
There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God .
*
For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works ,
as God did from his .
*
Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest ,
lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience .
*
For the word of God is living ,
and active ,
and sharper than any two-edged sword ,
and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit ,
of both joints and marrow ,
and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart .
*
There is no creature that is hidden from his sight ,
but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do .
