Hebrews 4 Summary

Enter the Rest: The Living Word

The promise of entering God rest remains. Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts. The word of God is alive and active, sharper than any double-edged sword, dividing soul and spirit. We do not have a high priest who cannot empathize with our weaknesses; he was tempted in every way, yet without sin.
