“For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.”
Hebrews 4:3 KJV
This is a revelation and a warning. “For those of us who believe, faith activates the promise and we experience the realm of confident rest! For He has said, “I was grieved with them and made a solemn oath, ‘They will not enter into My rest.’ ” God’s works have all been completed from the foundation of the world,”. The psalmist had spoken of God’s anger with the wandering children of Israel, “For forty years I was grieved with that generation, And said, ‘It is a people who go astray in their hearts, And they do not know My ways.’” God’s works have been completed. Even though the world has fallen, God’s works have already been accomplished, unhindered by the sin of man. God’s finished works supersede the brokenness of our planet. Faith, not will-power, realises our immediate access to God’s rest. God’s cry through the ages was that His people would enter into His rest. His rest celebrates perfection. His work is complete; the fall of mankind did not flaw its perfection. Let’s have faith to enter God’s rest through Christ our Lord. Amen!
