Bible Question: In Heb 4.1....What is (His Rest) |
Bible Answer: Hello,eaglei35..Maybe I can help answer your question..(Matt.11:28)"come all ye who are heavy laden and I will give you rest",( vs.29)Take My yoke upon you,and learn of Me;for I am meek and lowly in heart:and ye shall find rest unto your souls"(vs 30)"for My yoke is easy and My burden is light".People of "the world"who hear God's Word and it doesn't change their hearts..,those hearts are hard..my heart was once hard..but once I came to believe..to TRULY allow my heart to be changed..transformed by The Almighty God,I entered into"God's rest".(Heb.3:18-19)says they could not enter into His rest due to unbelief..so "What is rest?"..I believe it's that time when we stop fighting God..when we "give in "to Him and admit we cannot do this without Him.We are tired of fighting and FINALLY invite Him to be the Lord of our life..see,they could not "enter into that rest" where there was unbelief..not just "believing in God"..'even the demons believe that!" No,it's trusting God with your HEART,with every aspect of your life.That's why when we "take back"our problems from God and try to deal with them ourselves(like we ALWAYS do)we are NOT at rest..we are fearful,anxious,worried,etc.This is what I've come to realize is the true meaning of His rest..Giving up our will for His will..Thank you for this opportunity to be blessed,I pray He blesses you in a MIGHTY way!!Peace be with you,Sammy Sonshine |
