In context
AI-assisted, sourcedHebrews 4:1-11A rest for the people of God
About Hebrews 4A promise of entering God's rest still stands, but the word did not profit the wilderness generation, "not being mixed with faith," while "we which have believed do enter into rest." "There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God," so "Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest," for "the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword." Since "we have a great high priest... Jesus the Son of God," who "was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin," we may "come boldly unto the throne of grace."
