ENTERING THE REST OF GOD

[Albert Finch]

Hebrews 4:9-11 LB - "So there is a full complete rest still waiting for the people of God. Christ has already entered there......let us do our best to go into that place of rest, too..."

The life of faith, when a soul learns to trust God for victory over sin, and yields itself entirely, to its CALLING in Christ, to live just where and how He wills, that it enters the rest. It lives in the promise, in the will and the power of God -- through faith (not through the death of the body), but the death to self in the death of Christ through faith.

It is the soul that thirsts for God, for the living God, that will have the spiritual capacity for receiving the revelation of how Jesus, the High Priest, brings us into God's presence.

Psalm 63:1 - "O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water."

Faith ceases to seek help in itself or its efforts, to be troubled with its need or its weakness; it rests in the sufficiency of the all-sufficient One who has undertaken all.

Trust Jesus.
Give up and forsake the wilderness.
Follow the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus is the rest.
