4 10 especially quickens me 'for he that is entered into his rest..... ' it brings to mind the scripture 'take my yoke upon you and learn of me and I will give you rest. ' REST when JESUS yokes you you have rest. JESUS TAKE MY YOKE UPON YOU. YOKE LET me lead and guide you. and I will give you rest. we are to labour for JESUS REST. JESUS IS THE LIVING WORD THE WORD IS POWERFUL WE ARE TO LABOUR not as the flesh but as the spirit the word of GOD FEEDS THE SPIRIT. JESUS IS THE WORD THE LIVING WORD
It helps us to understand that it 's not enough to just hear, read, and know the word. We have to mix our faith with the Word. Putting total trust in God as we labour for Him in Him that we will enter into His glorious rest in Heaven when we ' ve completed our work here on earth.
For, the living word of God working sharper than a two mouth sword, cutting into the joints and marrow of the bones dividing the soul and spirit, discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart and laying open all our inner makeup.
Nothing we do is hidden from Jehovah God People may do things in the dark or behind closed doors and think they will get away with it because other people don t see them God sees all though just as thoroughly as one standing naked in the open This should make us evaluate ourselves and correct any bad tendencies we may have
Timothy Wayne George on Hebrews 4:15 - 10 years ago
For we have not a high Priest who cannot be touched with the feelings of our weaknesses yet He was tested in all points and did not sin Jesus knows what we are going through no matter what the temptation and His grace is sufficient to see us through to the end So come boldly before the throne of grace for mercy to help in a time of need Thank God Jesus is on the main line tell Him what you need and He will answer Happy Valentine s Day to all
Jesus had his own share of infirmities while on earth,yet he did not sin or curse his Father.l must follow his footstep when next am challenged.l must also knew that he is not ignorant of my pain, he is always there with me comforting me.
God is instructing us to keep His Sabbath day holy so we can enter into His rest. In six days God created the heavens and the earth and on the seventh
(7th) day God rested from all His work. Were to honor God by
entering His day of rest.

God is love, for you to reach the throne of grace then trust no man for all the pain , sorrow , anxiety, anger etc one is going through is because we trust man than God. Trust that God can change the unchangeable and will be happy always.
No matter what you are going through or how bad the situation, keep your eyes on the throne. not so much as the throne itself, but who is sitting on the throne. (Jesus Christ).
Sunday morning service NMO!!!!!!!!!! Praise Godd!!!
Paul is comfirming the rest(Sabbath)in Genesis at the end of creation when God rested from all His work. It is said that we no longer need to abide by the old testament law, but God forbid. If we need not to abide by the old testament law why then do we follow the law of the land? the law of the land is an adoptation of the commandments of God except for the forth commandment. That was change by the first pope of Rome. So the rest in Hebrews 4 is the rest that God has given to man after a long work week.
This ar among my favourite vs in book of Hebrew it acting fast whenever i aply this words in my prayer,power in this words motivate my soul at a time i cme across this words
When God created the heavens and the earth and then he rested from his works for his works was made good and there was no sin place on earth however when man did sin due to unbelief of God's word and the belief of Satan's influence rest was no longer available but only death for the unbelieving ....for the children of Israel could not enter rest due to their unbelief when they defiled God with idolatry and other acts...now Jesus came along and did many works and through His work He took rest back from Satan and through Belief of this work for His works was made good we now can enter into rest.
I find it interesting that god made us in His image-Body Soul and Spirit. The verse says that the sword cuts thru all to Gods bring forth Gods will. How perfect is his will. Praise the lord.
Powerful,I happen to know God and
Jesus Christ my Lord and savior,these word pierced me years ago when the Lord delivered me form a heart attack (2002)and last year from prostate cancer(2012) totally awesome!!!
If we abide in Jesus and He abide in us and if we beleive his word and do not doubt we can have the rest in the Lord Jesus Christ,which also consist of the Peace of God. We must get out of the flesh because in our flesh dwelleth no good thing. god gives us peace that passeth all understanding.If we beleive we have rest in Jesus Christ.
@Reggie,
May I suggest, letting the Bible explain Hebrews 4: 9, 10.
“9 There remains therefore a rest to the people of God”. The word “rest” in original Greek is “Sabbatismo” from which we get the word ”Sabbath” or the seventh day. This matches perfectly with what verse 10 says: “For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.” Here is that account: Genesis 2 “1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” Though the Jews kept the seventh day Sabbath, it is not a Jewish sacred day only; it belongs to all of us. It is not a punishment but a privilege. And keeping the Sabbath Day holy is not an option either: It is the fourth of the Ten Commandments ( Exodus 20). Jesus, our Creator gave us the Sabbath at the end of the Creation Week. He kept it holy while on earth, and he bids us to teach all nations “whatsoever I have commanded you” Matthew 28:19, 20. Here is a promise to those who keep it: “If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honorable; and shalt honor him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words; Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD… for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it”. Isaiah 58: 13, 14. This Sabbath Day will also be celebrated in God’s New Kingdom: “And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.” Isaiah 66:23. Now, how we celebrate the Sabbath is another issue.
