Hebrews: Christ Is Greater and Better

DAY 6 OF 22

Entering God’s Rest Read Hebrews 4:1-13 What we read today continues the message repeated for the third time: 'Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts'. The saving message of God’s love is only effective when it meets with faith in our hearts. We must respond and that response is compared to entering God’s rest. It is like God’s rest on the seventh day because this is God’s completed work of salvation. The way is now perfect. It is God’s rest also because it is not by means of our own work or merit that we gain this salvation from God. The covenant Joshua inherited from Moses for the Hebrews required careful compliance and obedience to the law. And that required great effort and hard work. Through the Son now, our faith holds the word of God, believes it and lets it take control. And this word, like a sword, penetrates every area of our lives. God's word convicts us, drives us to be holy and gives us God’s rest. It is not work to satisfy some obligation or earn some reward but it is not idleness either. Faith involves action. Salvation rests in the finished work of Christ. Commit yourself anew to read and study His word regularly. Ask God to apply His word thoroughly to your life.

Hebrews: Christ Is Greater and Better

These devotional readings from Scripture Union Peninsular Malaysia are written from the thoughts and insights of Asian writers. Hebrews gives us a detailed description of who Jesus is and his work of salvation for all mankind. He is greater and better than the prophets, priests and sacrifices that have come before. He is the 'new' who has come to replace the 'old'.
