"For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief." The Sabbath was originally on the seventh day, Saturday, because it represents God resting, but it was to point us to another rest, one we enter into when we stop trusting in the law to save us and place our faith in Christ.

For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day." Under the law of Moses, they were required to rest on the seventh day. The penalty for not doing so was severe. Still, some refused to obey. Today, we are told not to harden our hearts, but believe on Jesus. We are not required to keep the Sabbath rest based on a calendar, but based on faith. To be continued... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief." Once the creation was completed, along with the plan of redemption, God rested. After Calvary, we entered into a new covenant. Jesus said, "It is finished." Now, we are to accept what Christ did on the cross, cease from trying to save ourselves by trusting in Moses, and enter into His rest through faith in Christ. To refuse to believe is to continue to trust in self or Moses, and that won't work. Just as it cost everyone 20 years old and above, except Joshua and Caleb, the promised land, thus spiritually they never entered into rest, unbelief will keep us out of God's Kingdom. Jesus is the only way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be finish from our fight against sin. All our sorrows will be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entering into God's rest has NOTHING to do with OSAS. It only has to do with believing in Jesus, that he is who he said he is, and putting our trust in him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't worship Jesus. They worship OSAS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't saved by placing faith in Paul's gospel. Paul didn't die for us. We are saved by trusting in Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
