Hebrews 3:18 (KJV) And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

Hebrews 3:19 (KJV) So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. 

Believed not and Unbelief  

BELIEVED NOT from  e-Sword STRONGSS #544 to disbelieve (wilfully and perversely): - not believe, disobedient, obey not, unbelieving. 

UNBELIEF from e-Sword STRONGS #570

faithlessness, that is, (negatively) disbelief (want of Christian faith), or (positively) unfaithfulness (disobedience): - unbelief. 

The reason that they should not enter into His Rest. Was it because they were bad people? NO! It was just because they didn’t believe God could help them. 

Hebrews 3:18 (KJV) And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that  disbelieve (wilfully and perversely): - believed not?

Hebrews 3:19 (KJV) So we see that they could not enter in because of faithlessness, that is, (negatively)  unfaithfulness (disobedience): - unbelief. 

Now this is Canaan land, a land of Victory and Rest. I wonder how many of God’s People today have Rest and Victory in their lives? Is it possible to have rest? Jesus said it was.

Matthew 11:28 (KJV) Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Spiritual rest, peace of conscience, ease of mind, tranquility of soul, through an application of pardoning grace through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ..

Matthew 11:29 (KJV) Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest (Remember what I wrote earlier if you aren’t looking you’ll never find) unto your souls. Could this be why we don’t have peace and rest (learn of me) a simple question will give you the answer. What have you learned about Your Savior Jesus Christ today? Or this Week? Or this Month? If the answer is not much or even worse NOTHING. Then maybe it’s because of Unbelief. In order to learn you have to show up. In 2004 I needed an income. My previous income was GONE! My friend had a car business so I went to him and asked him to teach me how to buy and sell cars. He told me classes began this Monday night at the car auction. I expect you to be there every Monday night. If I am going to teach you I will not waste my time, show up! So it began and I was faithful and he taught me. Why did I write that? Many want to have rest that is why they seek drugs and alcohol and other things that will not give rest only destruction. Jesus gives us the answer for rest and peace “learn of me” No it’s not a quick fix but He will do what He says. Learning the car business wasn’t either; it took commitment. So what have you learned about Jesus? If not much, why not? RU Showing Up?

It was shocking to me as I watched a man going up to people putting gas in their cars. He asked them to tell him one Bible verse and he would pay for their gas. He asked 10 people and not one of them was willing or didn’t know a Bible verse to tell. How sad that many will not come into Jesus and learn about Him.
