"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."
If you want to know why the beginning of wisdom is the "fear of God", digest and learn this One Truth Today. Only those who believe in God can enter His Rest! Eternal life in Heaven is at stake for each of us in this scripture. That is why there is peace on earth and in heaven for men in God's will. That is why if you do not believe and accept Jesus Christ into your heart you will be eternally separated from God and will never enter His Rest. Those who do not fear God are damned! There is only one caveat to those of us here on earth who want to have eternal life in Heaven. You have to "believe in God", accept His Word and have faith that the Lord will lead you to rest in Him. If you are a child of God you will spend eternity in Heaven with the Lord!
God has declared that only those who believed and trusted Him, as a result of their reliance, will enter His place of rest. God never lies. This has been His plan from the beginning to Save us from our sin and give us eternal life as a result of His Mercy. The plan is clear to all who will listen. The problem is only for those who do not want to hear or believe in God. God has taken an oath, "they will never enter my rest". Non believer's will never enter Heaven and instead will be eternally separated from the Lord. They will have no peace here on earth, or in the kingdom to come. The place God has prepared for believer's can not be shared by those who reject Jesus Christ the Lord God. If you are not afraid of this you are dead in your sin!
What a contrast of consequences to your choice of accepting or rejecting God. We each have a personal choice to make and we are each responsible for our choice. This is the most important decision you will ever have to make during your life. Do you open the door to your heart and allow the Lord to come in and dwell with you and Save you? Do you reject Jesus Christ, the Lord God and harden your heart to the Gospel, the "Good News", that Jesus Saves?
Listen again to the Word of God. 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! Your choice, your consequence. Do you fear God? The beginning of wisdom is the fear of God!
