Hebrew's Chapters 3and 4,
May I please say what I see in these scriptures ? Yet,it is not mine,but is what The Lord is Gracious to help me with.
TODAY,...and tomorrow,..is TODAY and the next ,..is TODAY.i If we will not harden our hearts at The Lord' voice,guiding,Grace,...this drawing of us to His will,..and keep His Words and not throw His Words to the ground,/ unbelief ...and hear,...and do,...Is that where we can enter into His rest / peace ?
* the generation that came out of Egypt,did not enter into His rest because Of unbelief.It said they saw His works for 40 yrs.....and later says : " they do always err in their heart,and have not known My ways." What is His Ways ? He said,"I Am the Way,...the Truth and the Life" Isn't His Ways,..the Way of righteousness,Truth,peace, love,us learning His righteous judgments,..how His heart is,...wisdom ?..Following ?
People tell us, it is a sin to fear,....but on many occasions it is a blessing of God...It says here,: " Fear lest a promise being of entering into His rest,any of you should seem to come short of it."
It goes on to say: " For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them; but the word preached did not profit them not being mixed with faith In them that heard it. The gospel: " the gospel of the kingdom,....a place where He The King rules and is Lord,...where He speaks to us directs/ commands us in The Way,..... hear His voice )
Someone here gave a equation of faith= obedience,...etc,... What a good word of knowledge it was....loved it...thank you.
Heb.4:11, says,"Let us labor,therefore to enter into that rest,lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. ...LABOR ?...UNBELIEF ?
The whole scriptures, is scriptures of Love,...because He loves us SO much. So please do not think ,that I am trying to be harsh...NEVER EVER !
Lovingly always, elizabeth
