They
Could Not Enter In Because Of Unbelief!
Hebrews
3
"Therefore,
Holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider
the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,
who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was
faithful in all His house. For this One has been counted worthy
of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house
has more honor than the house. For every house is built by
someone, but He who built all things is God. And Moses indeed
was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony
of those things which would be spoken afterward, but Christ
as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold
fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to
the end.
"Therefore,
as the Holy Spirit says: 'Today, if you will hear His voice,
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, as in the day
of trial in the wilderness, when your fathers tested Me; they
tried Me, though they saw My work. For forty years I was grieved
with that generation, and said, "It is a people who go
astray in their hearts, and they do not know My ways."
So I swore in My wrath, "They shall not enter My rest"'
(Psalm 95:7-11).
"Beware,
brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief
in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily,
while it is called 'Today,' lest any of you be hardened through
the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of
Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast
to the end, while it is said;
"'Today,
if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in
the rebellion.'
"For
who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came
out of Egypt let by Moses? Now with whom was He angry forty
years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell
in the wilderness? And to whom did He swear that they would
not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? So we see
that they could not enter in because of unbelief." Hebrews
3:1-19.
