Hebrews 4:1-7

1God’s promise that we may enter his place of rest still stands. We are afraid that some of you think you won’t enter his place of rest.

2We have heard the same Good News that your ancestors heard. But the message didn’t help those who heard it in the past because they didn’t believe.

3We who believe are entering that place of rest. As God said, “So I angrily took a solemn oath that they would never enter my place of rest.” God said this even though he had finished his work when he created the world.

4Somewhere in Scripture God has said this about the seventh day: “On the seventh day God rested from all his work.”

5God also said in the same passage, “They will never enter my place of rest.”

6However, some people enter that place of rest. Those who heard the Good News in the past did not enter God’s place of rest because they did not obey God.

7So God set another day. That day is today. Many years after ⌞your ancestors failed to enter that place of rest⌟ God spoke about it through David in the passage already quoted: “If you hear God speak today, don’t be stubborn.”
