Bible Passage (KJV): Hebrews 4:1-11

QUESTIONS

Q1. What must I do if my yearning for eternal rest is not as it should be?

Q2. What is the difference between the rests in 3:11,18 vs the believers rest in chapter 4? What is God offering the people of God i.e. the saved believers in v9?

Q3. What is the promise of God to the believer on earth in 4:3 and 4:9?

Q4. Why is there a description of “hath ceased from his own works” (v10), but yet we are called to labour (v11) to enter into salvation rest?

Q5. What is the difference in the word “rest” in v9 and vv10-11? What must we learn?

Q6. From vv10-11, how can the believer take hold of that rest in God even while on earth? What must we learn?

Q7. From vv10-11, what do you conclude about how to truly have the rest that God intended for the believer on earth, and why many believers are discontented and do not seem to have this promised rest in God while on earth?

Bible Passage (KJV): Hebrews 4:1-11

1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

3 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.

4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
