ENTER INTO HIS REST 

“there remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God” Hebrews 4:9

Christ has promised His people rest if they believe He is able to take  away their burden (Matthew 11:28) “come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Just as God did rest the seventh day, His will for His people is to enter into His rest.

We remain in our struggles because of our hardened heart to believe that God is able to save us from our problems; We are faced by challenges that make us wonder if God is still with us; then We ask ourselves this question; can God ever take me out of this problem? This unbelief provoke Gods wrath to break His promise with His people of entering into His rest (Hebrew 4:1). “ let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into rest, any of you should seem to come short of it”. The Israelites were short of the promise of entering into His rest as a result of Their unbelief and hardened heart. A believer should believe that God is able to give Him/Her rest if He/She believe in Him.

Conclusion 

It is not the purpose of God for His people to be short of His promise of rest; the scripture has made it clear that a child of God has to labour to enter into His rest by believing in Him.
