Entering God’s Rest

Sadly, most believers in Jesus are not resting in what Jesus did for them when he shed his blood for the full forgiveness of their sins and complete cleansing from their sins.

Rather then resting, most believers seek God's forgiveness daily.

They seek cleansing from sins daily.

The try to maintain fellowship with God daily or restore fellowship with him through continual confession of sins.

They are working for forgiveness for sins and cleansing from sins.

They are working to get close and stay close to God.

They have been taught by their spiritual leaders to put effort into their relationship with God.

Yet the writer of Hebrews tells us the very opposite.

He tells us to rest, to cease from all spiritual attempts to obtain forgiveness for our sins and cleansing from our sins.

He tells us to cease trying to get close to God.

And how do we cease from these works?

How do rest?

According to the writer of Hebrews, we rest by believing in what Jesus did for us to secure our full forgiveness for sins and complete cleansing from sins.

We rest knowing we are close to God because of what Jesus has done for us not by anything we do.

"Now we who have believed enter that rest...for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his." (Hebrews 4:3, 10)"
