“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.” Hebrew 3:19.
Unbelief and Disobedience go hand in hand, and this was the root problem with those who came out of Egypt. The Holy Spirit tried to warn them by saying, “Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness”(3:7-8) when they were in the wilderness for those forty years. And those of an unbelieving heart are described as, “they always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My ways” (3:10) The result of unbelief will always be evident in disobedience. A perfect example was an unbelieving generation who did not enter because of unbelief. That’s why the author warns the reader and writes in verse 12, “Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God”. Then he exhorts them by saying, “but exhort one another daily, while it is called ‘Today’ lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin” Keep believing in the living God even when it is difficult to believe because of circumstances. Keep obeying the Words of the Lord, and He shall bring it to pass. Why? So that you may enter into the promises God has for us. Do not go astray in your heart, but Hear His voice and believe and obey. Trust in the living God.
