LESSON 3 — Entering God’s Rest

Hebrews 4

Lesson Description

This lesson explores God’s promised rest—not merely physical or future, but spiritual and present through faith in Christ.

In-Depth Teaching

1. The Meaning of Rest

God’s rest symbolizes:

• Completion

• Peace with God

• Trust instead of striving

Unbelief keeps people from rest; faith opens the door.

2. The Power of God’s Word

Scripture is living, active, and discerning. It reveals the heart and calls for response.

3. Jesus Our Sympathetic High Priest

Christ understands human weakness and invites believers to approach God boldly.

Application

• Are you resting in Christ or striving in self-effort?

• How does Scripture expose and heal the heart?
