- Pastor David Guzik continues in his teaching in the book of Hebrews. In chapter 4 we see how God wants his people to have rest, and discontinue a life determined by works.
Here is a link to David Guzik's commentary on Hebrews 4: enduringword.c...
Glory to God Pastor David! I started reading Hebrews this past week after we were challenged to read it in church and my eyes are opening to so many things I'd never seen in Hebrews before. I read Hebrews 4 but couldnt understand it fully so i went on a search and landed on this video. I'm so glad i got to listen.
Best line i had 'The Reality is Jesus.' And i am still crying because more and more I'm seeing that legalism and inconsistencies in my life have come from a place of not resting in God and putting full faith armor in Christ. God bless you and Enduring Word. Love to you all from Kenya.
Love from the Fiji Islands.🙏🏽
We are about to enter the sabbath millennial ‘rest’. 6000 years since Adam... 1000 years rest with Christ (Rev 20) when He comes for the church. The Lord is coming very soon. Have Him in the centre of your life every day and be in right relationship with Jesus. What a saviour we have in Jesus. May God bless you all 🙏
Powerful message! Lord May I always receive your Word in Faith! In Jesus name 🙏🏿
Praise the Lord. Thank you pastor David.
It is awesome to have God’s rest 👏🏽
The seventh-day chapter 4
Dear Pastor David! Greetings to you from India. I was reading this amazing book of Hebrews & Chapter 4 tremedously had caught my attention. Your insights upon the theme of Rest has helped me undestand better. Thankyou & God bless you.
I Praise God through your life im blessed in your teaching. Thank u Jesus
Thank You. "GOD'S Rest For Me and With HIM."
I dont just trust,,,,I truly trust you in jesus powerful name 🙌 🙏❤♥....
I've read this chapter numerous times. Today I was looking for a deeper understanding. Thanks for the insight.
This was needed!! It's so much going on that sometimes it's too much, because I try to focus on everything.
Amazing listening to this in summary, it resonated to me a hymn titled 'tis so sweet to trust in Jesus ..
Read Hewbrews the first time through spiritual lenses and I wanted to find out more about His Rest. Got directed and Stumbled across this message and it impacted my life. Thank you - from South Africa 🇿🇦
Wonderful, thank you for your kind words and support!
This is so helpful (from 30:46 to 31:03) That difference in intention illustrates the key for me: thanks so much for making that clear. I struggle with the following question you ask yourself at times (regarding your intention when doing good deeds) as well; and, if I can keep that phrase, "...you stop from your self-justifying works" in my mind I can tell it's already going to be a tremendous help. Thank you, David Guzik!
Linda, you are so welcome! Blessings to you
@@brianlakieth You are on point. Perfectly correct!
@@brianlakieth Also brother 14:12-13 helps understanding of the rest we shall have once united with Christ we should have rest of our labors

@@belindawatson5328 thank you
I will. And am. Returning to. Listen to your. Teaching. About. REST. And the. Prayer at the. End.
Thank you pastor David. I'm here following your reply to a question to learn more about Jesus as our High Priest. My faith has grown so much learning from you for the past six months. I'm still learning, n guess I will be a long while learning yet, to trust God and live in His rest, but by will and decision I trust Him and pray all else follows. What an utmost joy to learn and know my God and Saviour more from you. Deepest thanks.
You are welcome!
THANK YOU FOR THE MESSAGE IT TRULY HELPED ME UNDERSTAND THIS CHAPTER HEBREWS 4, GOD BLESS
You are very welcome!
Loved this message!! Thank you Pastor Guzik !!
Aren't all the good works we do only through the Spirit of God living inside of us? Is the Spirit of God inside of us helping us to keep the commandments a good work?
Philippians 2:12, 13 tells us...
12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.
God works in us (energetically) to give us the desire and then the abilities to do good works. God works those things into us: desire and ability.
But as verse 12 says, we have to "work it out". We have to have the faith, determination, and follow through.
I hope that this helps. Blessings!
Great explanation of rest! I learned a great deal from this message
Amazing amazing teaching.
Wow!! where are all the Pastors that teach and preach ( exegeting) the word as this man does?
Amen! We are resting in the finished work of Christ! We are not doing to try to obtain what Christ has already given us in this great salvation! We trust in Him and instead bear the fruit of His works as we rest in His finished work! It is finished!
You cannot have true faith without works. They go hand in hand. The word that they heard was not mixed with the Faith! The works ❤will always follow😊 if it’s genuine! This is the Faith of Christ that we possess not our own faith. Big difference ❤
Very well said! Amen!
Do you suppose that this rest is the sabbath? Our day of rest physically we say is the sabbath. The rest we have in Christ is in fact ceasing from our labors also. Could these two match up in the New Covenant? What are your thoughts? Thank you and God Bless 😊
Stop. You created your own definition of REST. Define it according to how Hebrews defined REST. Not some weird guy’s philosophy. Why are you leaving the Bible to define God’s Rest.
Hebrews alluded what that rest was literally in the 4th verse:
“For He spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, and God did rest from all of his works.”
Paul is talking about the 4th Commandment. He is talking about the SABBATH!
How can one have faith without reflecting God’s commandments?
Paul says Faith without works is dead.
We aren’t saved by our works but our works are a reflection of the faith we have in us.
Pretty sure James said faith without works is dead
I was looking for someone’s comment like yours. Thank you ❤. I 💯 agree with you.
Romans 5 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
In the days of Moses some, not all some had no faith and didn’t keep the Sabbath, but today we are to keep the Sabbath in faith, we enter into his rest on the Sabbath and not Sunday which he Catholics admit to be responsible to change.
It's so refreshing to hear a message about entering into God's rest today rather than after we die and go to heaven. I don't believe the rest spoken of in the book of Hebrews has anything to do with going to heaven or going to hell when we die. The account of the rebellion in the wilderness was the topic at hand. Those of Num14 are the example of those not entering into the rest of God but made subject to aimless wandering. At least in the relative perspective, this appears to be the case. We know in the perspective of the absolute this rebellion was also according to the purpose of the One Who is operating all in accord with the counsel of His will. (Eph1:9-11)
After all, who volunteers to be the example of what not to do?
Who makes us competent to mix together the necessary faith with the hearing of the word that we might profit from it?
I believe Paul has an answer for that within hus letter to the Colossians...
Colossians 1:9-13
CLV(i) 9 Therefore we also, from the day on which we hear, do not cease praying for you and requesting that you may be filled full with the realization of His will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, 10 you to walk worthily of the Lord for all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing in the realization of God;" 11 being endued with all power, in accord with the might of His glory, for all endurance and patience with joy;" 12 at the same time giving thanks to the Father, Who makes you competent for a part of the allotment of the saints, in light, 13 Who rescues us out of the jurisdiction of Darkness, and transports us into the kingdom of the Son of His love
Thank you, Father, for making us competent to mix together faith with the hearing of your word!
Well said, and amen!
Èxcellent message
The KJV says Jesus instead of Joshua. I understand now why that is because of the interpretation. But I can’t tell you how many times I read my Bible not catching that until last year.
I think I cried for hours that day because I realized I hadn’t been grasping what I was reading. But that day it hit me and I was like, what does this mean if Jesus had given them rest? Of course Jesus gave them rest!
Oddly enough, I have a reference Bible and had never looked at the number and looked at the column reference on it. That’s when I saw it meant Joshua. That’s also when I found out it’s the same in Acts.
I wonder how many people like me have been reading those verses wrong for years. And those that don’t have a reference Bible.
I love my KJV but that alone almost made me switch.
He's telling what rest means, without sharing where he gets his definitions from.
I disagree! I think he made the concept that God's 'Rest' clear that it's based in Gods being. That God is at perfect peace in his character. Jesus offers this perfect peace which He stated that he leaves with the believers. Obviously this rest is to be entered into via the Spirit. So I'm curious about what definitions you have now examined and can provide?
Its what one define in a trusting relationship and this case its our trust and walk with God through Christ by faith.
Sabbath rest is in Hebrews' 4:9. "There remaineth therefore a rest (Greek word Sabbathtismos -means a keeping of the 7th day Sabbath) to the people of God."
When ever the Sabbath day is mentioned in the 4 gospels , Acts , Col , the Greek word is 4521 Sabbaton .
Here in Hebrews 4 v 9 , Greek 4520 Sabbatismos as a type of Heaven ( rest ) , it's not referring to the keeping of the Sabbath day , and this is the only time it is used in the Bible , so I don't see how anyone can use Hebrews 4 v 9 to justify keeping the 4th Commandment .
@@nzbrotrev9028 Thanks for sharing. Do you know that Isaiah 66;22,23 tells us that th Sabbath ill be kept in heaven?
Rest is what Jesus told us, to not go to work or make anyone or any animal work, buy or sell, Jesus told us to care for one another isn’t 6 days a week it includes the Sabbath, to do well.
Working for 6 days is a work ethic, mercy and sustainment work is everyday.
Do you mind showing us where Jesus or Paul, Command's us Christians to keep the Sabbath , and the word , Rest , here in Hebrews 4 v 9 has Nothing to do with the 4th Commandment, the keeping of the Seventh day Sabbath.
Hey, I've come through Enduring Word. I'm from Brazil. God bless you!
Who are the preachers that inspires you the most?
Jesus why is there a pagan worship symbol in the background of this video a cross with a anchor and Ionix on top that's not from Christian worship. And my question is this are you teaching people to keep the holy Sabbath day are you a Sunday keeper trying to disprove that the Sabbath still exist your sermon is really not clear
@@twowitnessesbibleandwellne5600 The rest remained after the law was given. It was not a day as much as it is a spiritual rest refferred to which is in Christ. This is why Paul stated not to contend about days. Romans 14:5. We miss the whole point of the Rest that remains for God's people if we think of this in terms of a day. It is God's rest! It is not based upon the law. It is by faith and only entered into via the Spirit... if you keep a day well and good but every single day is to be walked into by faith in the finished work of God in Christ with the spirit of God. I rest my case in the Rest of God as a spiritual Rest that God desires that we enter. If Christ fulfilled the law then why do we need to place an emphasise that one day is more important than another. The Rest is a permanent state 24 x 7. Do you really think God treats one day more holy than another! We tend towards legalism and miss the entire point of Spiritual Rest when we focus our faith on a day. So choose your day if you must but don't impose your conviction upon others... as Paul stated.
So I’ve listened to you on several occasions in years past and don’t recall the constant screaming style.
Can you share why you have adopted this, and do you like to be yelled at yourself?
This is only HALF TRUTH. He is saying Faith, Faith, Faith. What about obedience?? True faith leads to OBEDIENCE. The lack of faith led the Israelites to DISOBEY the Most High Elohim!
He did mention obedience when he said that our belief should lead to us trusting in God for the past present and future.
@@FOTWC except 4:10 tells us exactly how we enter that rest in obedience.
*It’s text so excuse me if my words sounds if I’m being rude*
First we must understand what Rest is. Rest is when we no longer trust in OUR efforts or understanding to get anything done in His kingdom or for any provision in our life. Rest is simply when we trust in God to provide to help, to bring things to pass etc. when we rest we do not neglect works for it is by works that PROVE our faith and we see that in Hebrews 11. If I gave you a check abs said cash this it has 1M dollars on it. How would I know you believed me? Would it bc you said “yea I believe you bro” and just sat back down “believing” NO!! I would know you believed me when you get up and take the check to the bank to cash it THEN you would have proven to me that you believed me. Same with God when God tells us to do something or not to worry about something we OBEY him in our works and by our OBEDIENCE we show that we trust/rest in God and in his word alone
@@FOTWC nice deflection, 4:10 tells us how.
A blessing listening to this piece.God bless you Sir.
Where does Hebrews 4 say we enter the rest by believing in Christ ,,
Hebrews 4:3 says "Now we who have believed enter that rest"
@@DavidSandyOfficial literally nothing about Jesus. The promise STILL remains.
Would this mean ! If I told a unbeliever to ask Jesus for peace after their dad died. I said to her that even if she didnt believe jesus he would still give her peace ? She believes in new age!! I was planting a seed. Was I wrong about this ?
Was I wrong?
Hewbrews 4 has nothing to do with Jesus giving rest... "the promise remains..."
Oh wow! A kidney donation! That’s amazing!
So I need some help... In my dreams heb 4 was shown to me. Am not a church goer nor m I really saved. Anyone care to explain
Daisy Chelal, God is extending His eternal rest to you as a gift. Would you consider saying YES today. You receive it through salvation which is simply asking God to forgive your sins and come and be Lord over your life. Confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him (Jesus) from death.
Thanks dear
It's the prompting of the Holy Spirit to call you into the truth of God's law and love to keep it is holy Sabbath day secrets will you start reading your Bible and pray in the Lord will reveal more to you
God's calling you. Do you know the gospel? Allow me to share
I have a question for you to consider. Are you and I good enough to meet God's standard of righteousness? Do we qualify for heaven? God shows us whether or not we are.
Would you consider yourself to be a good person?
How many lies have you told, and what do you call someone who lies? Have you ever stolen something, no matter how small, and what do you call someone who steals? Have you ever taken God's name in vain/blasphemed, even ‘OMG’? That’s taking the name of the God who gave you life and using it in the place of a cuss word - would you do that with your mother’s name? Have you ever dishonoured your parents? Jesus said whoever looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery in his heart. Have you ever looked with lust? Most people probably have broken all 5 of these commandments. I myself have. I’m not judging you but if you have done these things then you’re a lying, thieving, blasphemous, rebellious adulterer-at-heart by your own admission. That's only 5 of the 10 commandments. God is fully just so he must and will punish every and all sin (which is departure from/rebellion towards God and the conscience) when he judges us. He cannot simply cancel our debt and let us go, or else he would be unjust. If you went into the courtroom and said: ‘Yes Judge, I’ve done these things but I also give money to the Red Cross and volunteer at an old-age home. I try my best to love people’ the judge is not going to take that into consideration. You’ve broken the law; the good you’ve done won’t help at all on the day of judgement.
If he judges you by the moral law will you be innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell. The answer is Hell. But, fortunately, that is not God’s will. He is so loving and merciful, he made a way for you to be forgiven. The Son of God came down as a man, Jesus Christ, and lived a perfect, sinless life, so was the perfect sacrifice. He excruciatingly suffered and died on the cross to pay the FULL debt we owe because of sin; justice is fully done. You and I broke God's law and Jesus paid the fine in his life's blood, being resurrected again 3 days later. That’s why he said “It is finished” on the cross - in other words the debt has been paid. God has the payment ready to go for you. What you need to do is repent (recognising you are a sinner deserving God's punishment, turn to Him) and trust ALONE in Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins. Our works can do nothing as by the standard of God’s moral law we fail, but faith in him is enough to save us from all sin - past, present and future! Then though you have grievously offended God, he will forgive you and you will inherit eternal life being reborn in the Holy Spirit when you put your trust in the saviour. Too, you enter a covenant relationship with God - sonship, and truly I tell you your life will change in his presence. So repent and trust (i.e. Biblical faith), receive the free gift of grace and enter into the rest of Hebrews 4.
Rest in the person of Jesus Christ
Hebrews 47-9means there remains a keeping of the 7th day sabbath as God kept the 7th day, now commonly called Saturday.
No😮 clearly this is talking about God's 7th day Sabbath rest like in the provocation (unbelief)and it is the same today, you will not enter in because you do not believe and love God😮there remains therefore a rest to the people of God 😮v11 let us labour (6day) to enter into that rest (7th day Sabbath)lest anyman fall after the same example of unbelief😊 love and belief in our God 😊self explanatory😇
You donate a kidney!!!! God bless and keep you sir. We don't have this kind of example we I live. Here we donate all we have for our pastor to fly private jet
Too “preachy” - stop yelling.
