Hebrews Chapters 3-4
Those who fell in the wilderness could not enter into rest because of their unbelief. We cannot enter into the rest of Christ (Matthew 11:29-30) if we are in unbelief.
The Word did not profit them because of unbelief.
These chapters seem to have an equal sign attached faith=rest. rest=position in Christ. I think that it is interesting that some people try so hard to make Sabbath rest (a work we do) as gaining favor with God, but this passage places that rest solely on faith.
I love how chapter 4 ends. We have a High Priest who understands us. He encourages us to enter boldly before His throne of grace. What an awesome God we serve.
