Hebrews 4.1-7

Living a life of rest is what every believer is called to but not what every believer experiences. Because living a life of rest requires us to walk by faith in obedience to what God calls us to do.

How do we know what God calls us to do? Of course that’s found in His Word…in the Bible. And it’s as we spend time in His Word…daily spending time with Him in His Word, reading, meditating, praying, absorbing, allowing His Word also to spend time in us, dwelling richly within us…that we learn who it is that God calls us to be and what it is that God calls us to do, that the Spirit transforms us by the renewing of our minds so that we know that God’s will and His ways are good and acceptable and perfect. Then we hear and obey, trusting Him all along the way…all the way down Torah Road.

We first enter His rest when we trust in Jesus. When we start our journey down Torah Road. If you would like to do that today, it’s as simple as recognizing that you are a sinner in need of a Savior. Believing that Jesus is the Savior that God promised. He lived a perfect life. He died a sacrificial death on your behalf and was raised the third day conquering both sin and death, so that by faith in Jesus you can have forgiveness of sins and eternal life. You too will have the righteousness that comes from God through faith in Jesus. And you can experience His rest today.
