Discuss Hebrews 4 Page 13

...Quick and Powerful Word of God must therefore be sent to operation in all sphere of life in Jesus ' name.

I was reading in job 42;5-6 where Job said "I know ... that no thought can be withholden from thee. And, I repent in dust and ashes. this is another reminder that God cares what we think about ( phil. 4:8). and Job knew it. Job1:5 and although he did not sin with his lips ( Job 2:10) he held a grudge in his heart,until he repented . we must therefore keep our hearts with all diligence prov:4

What a wonderful God we serve! What is promised here is a rest from sinning on the 7th day Sabbath. We just need to be willing.

HALLELUIAH, THANKS BE TO GOD. CERTAINLY, WE ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS JOURNEY. OUR GOD FEELS WHAT WE ARE FEELING NOW THAT'S WHY HE CAN ALWAYS COME TO OUR RESCUE.

Glory be to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who also feels the pains and agony we the children are passing through in the world today.He has indeed promised to assist us at anytime we need His assistance.

we should therefore call upon him in times of distress, believing our father will hear us knowing that his mercies for us are new every morning.

A word is sharper than the sword.so we must be careful how we speak and they come back like a boomerang to the person who utters them

Ambrose: Definitely Jesus................and God's rest or provisions for our salvation. The Israelites were brought out of bondage, but they grumbled and complained, and when all was said and done they disobeyed God. Therefore because of their unbelief.........the were separated from the promised land. Our promise land is in Heaven and they died in the wilderness and their children because of their unbelief :' We must stay pressing in and onward with faith so we may be found deemed worthy in the time of Judgement ahead. Stay strong brothers and sisters in the faith

Somebody must surely tell me: who was being refered to here, joshua, or Jesus? Even if Jesus is the Greek translation of the hebrew word Jesus, how then was it used in this context for the translaters to opt to use 'joshua' now? How different is it from all the use of Jesus throughout the new testament? Think of it, even if joshua indeed gave them rest, the israelites would still need this rest reffered to in this chapter. So it refers to jesus, coz, if Jesus gave them rest they would need none. They also need this rest coz they did not get it then...........from the giver of rest!!

Heb.4 and the commentary really shined light on the power of God's word and what it will do .diligence is a must for change...

this is where we have the opportunity to testify about the living word

We cease from Our works of the flesh

such a wonderful scripture .I too am so satisfied to know all the words to be the word and the work of God. the greastest book every if you want to know God himself you must get acquainted with the bible.

Jesus himself is the word of God. Whoever accept his words and obey them will recieve peace and life in abundance. For God's words are powerful than a sword. It is very important to mediate God's words day and night than prayers. Our Faith comes from God and it is a gift from God. We recieve Faith only by hearing the word of God. Therefore without Christ into our life we cant do anything. Jesus made everything new and thanks for his blood that shed for us. We are already saved by his Grace. But after all Jesus are still struggling for our unbelief . We must open our doors to Jesus and believed him that He is the Son of the Living God who can saved us. John 3:16 and John 3:5 we need to put this words into our hearts. Our Obedience in God are more important than Sacrifice. I will trust you Lord Jesus and will praised you forever for you are worthy to be praised. Amen and i love you Jesus forever

We ceased from our own works of trying to please god and earn his favor when we by faith trust christ .fully and continually we stop trying to earn our way to heaven

oh how precious and oh how sweet God is to us I love this verse for God shows his greatness to us I am so glad that I have a father that can be touch and he understands he knows our feeling he knows everything about us.

They heard the gospel preached as well but did not mix it with faith. So how do we mix the word with faith? Well lets look first at the children of Israel they heard caleb and joshua but they didn't mix faith with their report but instead they mixed faith with the evil report. How? They talked about the giants in the land instead of the report of faith that they were well able to take the land. Mix faith with God's word and say what God declared, We can do all things, My God shall supply all my needs according to his riches in glory.

Further proof from the scriptures that the Bible is relevant today. It is unlike any other book, that is the oldest, and has survived many attacks to extinguish it. Even today, when individuals read this book they are moved to make changes in their life, and dedicate themselves to God, and his will. Very powerful words are found in the Bible, and despite its age, it still has a powerful impact! Could we expect anything less from it 's author Jehovah God?

This is a reminder of sabbath keeping. God is specific in telling us to keep the seventh day, as day of rest just as he rested from his work. And that we should do the same. Verse 6, some done enter this rest, instead they work and on worldly labor because of unbelief. Verse 11, Emphasizing we have to labor to get that rest, like in verse 10 as God did. And don 't be like those who heard yet don "t believe. I thank God for the sabbath

I believe that the rest spoken in this text is a be still and know that I am God reference. Many are the affliction of the righteous but the Lord delivers,after the deliverance comes rest peace, this is a theme in the word. We are gentiles united by faith this makes us the people of God and entitled this rest after endurance as a good solider

I understand that from the creation of the world God desired that we would find rest in him. That he would be our God and we would be his people. What is man the God would be mindful of him. And even from the time of creation God has thought of man. He desired to give man rest in knowing him. His loving kindness endures from generation to generation. Some have not entered into his rest because they do not believe in the only begotten Son of God. But those who do enter into his rest cease from their own works. Jesus is the creator of all things and all things seen by him. Nothing that was made was made without him, All things were made by him. Jesus was ordained by God to be the mediator between God the Father and us. Jesus wants us to come boldly before his throne.

'...Scripture seems to indicate ... salvation took place within the realm of your human spirit, which is distinct from the soul. Some take the position that man is dichotomous, or two parts - physical and metaphysical or material and immaterial. However, the Bible teaches that man is trichotomous, or three parts, comprised of spirit, soul and body. Hebrews 4:12

Indeed even John 1.1-3 states that The Word is God...., John 1.14 continues that the Word became flesh and we saw His glory.Also The Word of Christ must dwell richly among us.... Colossians 3.15 ,then 2 Timothy 3.16-18 talks of the Scriptures as inspired....

I was looking for verse 12, and boy did I need it down n my soul. Praise God!

it talks about the power of God in all situations, it 's adaptability, it 's power to detect, reveal and discern to the uttermost

The more I kept on meditating upon this verse HEB 4:12 the more I had a vivid solid and tangible experience. Consequently I felt life moving back and forth in the bones of my both arms and was literirally crashing my inner bone marrow of the arms. I then totally got healed from the terminal illness I had. This happened some 19 years ago when I was just coming to the lord.This brought full and total devine health to my life.

GEN 1-4-16...Dewey, I seen what you posted in Rev 22, and I already responded to that. First about the trinity doctrine. It is not scriptural and in man 's mind it is like putting God in a straight jacket, it is no different than man can think or assume he has power to change God 's Holy Sabbath it is blasphemy. You are in defiance of God 's Law, so that would put you in league with the enemy of God, we do not have the mental, physical, theological neuron firing intelligence, or ecclesiastical power or otherwise to question debate, order, impose, restrict or legitimize any doctrine that is not biblical, God operates how and when He sees fit in any and all manners totally within His abilities, which I believe is limitless, He does not need anybody to question or try to assert somekind of supreme authority over Him. Who is man that we can assume such high mindedness or arrogance into the going on in GOD 's Kingdom. I am going to leave you with this scripture in Hebrews 4:8... For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. This confirms there is no other day established as the Sabbath, it remains Saturday the 7th day. GOD DOES NOT CHANGE. I pray God opens your eyes to the truth and any one else that has the eyes to see or ears to hear. PRAISE GOD AND PRAISE HIS SON. THE END IS NEAR. AMEN!!

This scripture confirms that we can go boldly to God in prayer without being in fear of a just and merciful God. I am free! Through the blood of Jesus.

I really needed this verse today . It helped me to regain my hope. I 've been burdened down with my finances and The Lord came to me with this scripture. Praise The Lord Jesus Christ!
