What Is God's Rest? by OLAADEGBU(m): 11:35am On Nov 25, 2014 |
How can we enter into God's Rest, as mentioned in Hebrews? What is God's Rest anyway? http://www.gotquestions.org/enter-Gods-rest.html

OLAADEGBU: Question: "How can we enter into God’s rest?" Answer: The concept of entering into God’s rest comes from Hebrews 3—4. What is this “rest” the Hebrew writer is talking about? How do we enter it? And how do we fail to enter it? The writer to the Hebrews begins his discussion of God’s rest in chapter 3, where he references the Israelites wandering in the desert. In giving them the land of Canaan, God had promised them that He would go before them and defeat all their enemies in order that they could live securely (Deuteronomy 12:9–10). All that was required of them was to fully trust in Him and His promises. However, they refused to obey Him. Instead, they murmured against Him, even yearning to go back to their bondage under the Egyptians (Exodus 16:3; 17:1–7; Numbers 20:3–13). |

OLAADEGBU:First of all the man who said the writer of hebrews contradicted himself is in error, the word never contradicts itself it only looks so out of our lack of understanding. By not depending on our works for salvation, we enter Gods rest but still serve God. Just as God rested from the main creation but is still is actively working within His creation. After we leave this life we wont have to evangelize nor contend for the faith, but we will always serve God and worship Him. So complete idleness is not intended just a type of rest from certain duties. |
