T4T by section HEB 4:1

HEB 4:1–4:5 ©

The Israelites failed to enter the place where they would rest; we must be careful not to act like them.

The Israelites failed to enter the place where they would rest; we must be careful not to act like them.

Hebrews 4:1-5

4The Israelites did not enter the place where they would rest. But God has still promised us that we can enter the place of resting in heaven eternally. So we must beware of the possibility that God may consider that some of you have failed to enter the place of resting eternally as the Israelites did not enter the place where they would rest. 2We have heard the message about Christ, just like the Israelites heard what God promised. But just like the message did not benefit most of those who heard it because they did not believe it as Joshua and Caleb did, it will not benefit us eternally if we do not keep believing it. 3We who have believed in Christ are able to enter the place of resting eternally. We know there is a place where we will rest eternally because God said,

Because I was angry with them, I solemnly declared, “They will not enter the land where I would let them rest.”

God said that even though he ceased his work of creating things after he created the world. 4What someone wrote somewhere in the Scriptures about the seventh day after he had spent six days creating the world, supports that:

Then, on the seventh day, God rested from his work of creating everything.

5But note again what God said about the Israelites in the passage that I quoted previously:

They will not enter the land where I would let them rest.
