Hebrews 3:19. So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
4:1. Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
I left out the "us" because that is inserted by the translators and should not be there. The promise is left to somebody, it does not say to us -- "a promise being left of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it." Not come short of it but even seem to do so. God keep us from the very shadow of sin, from the very appearance of evil. "For unto us was the gospel preached as well as unto them." In the old time that gospel which was preached to them was preached to us -- "but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it." God send us this holy mixture of the hearing and the believing, to our hour’s salvation, to his glory. Amen.
