HEBREWS 4:3
"For only we who believe can ENTER HIS REST. As for others God said, in my anger I took an oath: they will never enter my place of rest."
Have you ever pictured what heaven is like? God will lead us through green pastures alongside still waters. There will be no evil and no pain and no death. We look forward to tranquility and peace for eternity in God's kingdom. We will enter God's place of rest. There is only one caveat before one can expect to enter into that rest. Only those who believe in God and take Him at His word and have faith in the Lord will enter His rest. God has made a place for His children to spend eternity with Him and to rest in Him.
Those who have believed and trusted God and adhered to and relied on God will and do enter His rest. God has declared it and He never lies. This was His plan from the beginning of time and He has made it known. The problem is for those who do not believe in God. He took an oath and said, "they will never enter my rest". Non believers will never enter heaven and they will have no peace. The place he prepared for believer's will not be shared by those who refuse to accept Him. They will not enter His rest. In fact non believer's will be separated from God for eternity and that will be in total darkness, as there will be no light.
What a contrast of consequences in relationship to you and God. We each have a choice to accept or reject the Word of God and to accept or deny Him as Lord. There is no more important decision you will ever make. If you open the door to your heart and ask the Lord Jesus Christ to come in and live with you, He will give you rest and eternal life. If you choose to reject the Lord and refuse to accept Him and His word you will suffer His wrath. God swears it in His word and the it is entirely just because you make the choice and you suffer or obtain the consequence.
Which do you choose to do? ENTER HIS REST!
