Entering God's Rest
Entering God's Rest2
Camp Spalding - Part 3
By George Warnock4161:28:23HEB 4:1George Warnock emphasizes the importance of fully entering into God's rest and the necessity of a deep, personal relationship with Him. He reflects on the journey of the Israelites from Egypt to Canaan, illustrating how many fall short of God's promises due to unbelief and a lack of faith. Warnock highlights that God desires true fellowship with humanity, and that our spiritual journey often involves trials and testing in the wilderness to prepare us for a deeper communion with Him. He encourages believers to embrace their identity as friends of God, to seek His presence, and to understand that true rest comes from ceasing our own works and allowing Christ to work through us.

By Hans R. Waldvogel0HEB 4:6Hans R. Waldvogel emphasizes the necessity of entering into God's rest, as outlined in Hebrews 4, and warns against the dangers of unbelief that led the Israelites to wander in the wilderness. He calls Christians to move beyond mere salvation and to strive for a deeper relationship with Christ, who is our High Priest, and to embrace the transformative power of God's Word. Waldvogel highlights the importance of not being complacent in our spiritual journey, urging believers to seek the fullness of life in Christ and to be vigilant against the distractions and false teachings that can lead them astray.
