Heb. 4:9. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

The series of sermons on "The Perpetuity and Change of the Sabbath" cite this text:

The Sabbath is a day of rest; God hath appointed that we should, every seventh day, rest from all our worldly labors. Instead of that, he might have appointed the hardest labors for us to go through, some severe hardships for us to endure. It is a day of outward, but especially of spiritual rest. It is a day appointed of God, that his people thereon may find rest unto their souls; that the souls of believers may rest and be refreshed in their Saviour. It is a day of rejoicing; God made it to be a joyful day to the church: Psalms 118:24, "This is the day which the Lord hath made, we will rejoice and be glad in it." They that aright receive and improve the Sabbath, call it a delight and honorable; it is a pleasant and a joyful day to them; it is an image of the future heavenly rest of the church. Hebrews 4:9-11, "There remaineth therefore a rest (or sabbatism, as it is in the original) to the people of God. For he that hath entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest."

Heb. 4:10
