Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Hebrews 3
¹⁸ And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey?
¹⁹ So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
Hebrews 4
¹ Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it.
² For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.
³ For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said: "So I swore in My wrath, ’They shall not enter My rest,’ " although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
⁴ For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: "And God rested on the seventh day from all His works";
⁵ and again in this place: "They shall not enter My rest."
⁶ Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience,
⁷ again He designates a certain day, saying in David, "Today," after such a long time, as it has been said: "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts."
⁸ For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day.
⁹ There remains therefore a rest for the people of God.
