"Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience." (Hebrews 4:11)
"Rest," is something all humanity desires. Humanists always seek such in their own reasoning, and always fail.
I see in our text that, "to enter that rest," is absolutely essential. We are told to, "be diligent," and it means, "to hasten, make every effort." Our Lord Jesus says this for one reason: our benefit. There have been many sermons and books written concerning the "how to ." Yet, there is no "how to" offered here, just the command to, "be diligent to enter that rest...."
Father, in Jesus' Name, may I, "enter that rest," and stay so. Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
