1)Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2)For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
For days I have been thinking about these words of the writer of Hebrews about entering the true resope and I read the biblical commentary of the "Daily Living Bible" and I wanted to share it with you today:
Some of the Jewish Christians who received this letter may have been on the verge of turning back from the rest promised in Christ, just as the people in Moses' time turned their backs on the promised land. In both cases, the difficulties of the present moment overshadowed the reality of God's promise, and the people doubted that God would fulfill his promises. When we put our trust in our own efforts instead of putting it into Christ, we are also in danger of turning our backs on it. Our own efforts are never enough; Only God can see us through faith.
The Israelites of the time of Moses exemplify a problem faced by many of those who fill our temples today. They know a lot about Christ, but they do not know him personally; They do not combine their knowledge with faith. Let the good news about Christ influence your life. Believe in Him and answer Him in obedience. Trust in Christ and act according to what you know.
God Bless you All!!

The situation is the same today. Unbelieving believers. Those who have head knowledge but like the Israelites have hearts that have turned back to Egypt.
