Heb. 4:4-5. 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. And in this (place) again, If they shall enter into my rest.

Blank Bible: "Cf. 4.3; 4.5"

4.5 And in this place again if they shall enter into my rest] In the expression My Rest in the 95th Psalm the apostle plainly understands something besides the rest which God had provided or the rest that he had promised. He understands the rest that God himself enjoys.

God's rest spoken of in the preceding verse (with which these words are connected) was God's rest in this sense and so in the improvement the apostle makes of these words in Psa. 95 in the following verses. He exhorts Christians to seek to enter in Christian's rest in that sense viz to seek to be partakers of the rest that Christ enjoys that He entered into, when He had finished and ceased from his works as God did from His.

Heb. 4:6
