Hebrews 4:1-11

We must, therefore, be very careful, though there is a promise still standing that we shall enter upon God's Rest, that none of you even appear to have missed it. For we have had the Good News told us just as they had. But the Message which they heard did them no good, since they did not share the faith of those who were attentive to it. Upon that Rest we who have believed are now entering. As God has said-- 'In my wrath I swore--"They shall never enter upon my Rest;"' Although God's work was finished at the creation of the world; read more.
for, in a passage referring to the seventh day, you will find these words-- 'God rested upon the seventh day after all his work.' On the other hand, we read in that passage-- ' They shall never enter upon my Rest.' Since, then, there is still a promise that some shall enter upon this Rest, and since those who were first told the Good News did not enter upon it, because of their disbelief, again God fixed a day. 'To-day,' he said, speaking after a long interval through the mouth of David, in the passage already quoted-- 'If to-day you hear God's voice harden not your hearts.' Now if Joshua had given 'Rest' to the people, God would not have spoken of another and later day. There is, then, a Sabbath-Rest still awaiting God's People. For he who enters upon God's Rest does himself rest after his work, just as God did. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter upon that Rest, so that none of us fall through such disbelief as that of which we have had an example.
