So today I have been thinking about God's rest. I was reading Hebrews 4. I noticed in the chapter that the writer, discusses those who were not to enter God's rest because they disobeyed, and also those who heard the gospel and it did them no good, because they did not combine it with faith. So that was like a warning. If you desire to have confidence in God's love, entering into His rest, hear His word and use the faith He gives you; also, hear His word, and obey.
But the man who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin. Romans 14:23
So then I was pondering how do I hear and obey, using my faith. The Lord spoke to me again from Hebrews 4. Since it continues saying that His word is sharp, judging our motives, and that nothing will remain hidden. I will therefore allow the truth to lead me kindly to repentance for my sins. The chapter also says that therefore we should go boldly before the throne of God to receive grace. So I believe what I have heard, that Jesus, the One Mediator between me and God, has made a way for me to receive mercy, and the grace I need. For all I need is His grace, it is sufficient for me.
