HEBREWS—NOTE ON Hebrews 4:3 we who have believed. Faith in God’s good news is necessary to enter God’s rest. The “rest” of God in Psalms 95:11 (they shall not enter my rest) is connected with God’s resting on the seventh day after his work of creation. The fact that the exodus generation was not allowed to enter that rest proves that God’s Sabbath rest was still open. Even “today,” at the time of the writing of Hebrews 1:1, this rest could still be entered. Indeed, people throughout the entire church age can enter into this rest.
