These truths help us stay faithful and give us confidence to come to God for help and mercy. v. 11 : The writer tells us, Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest (Hebrews 4:11 ). This “rest” means spiritual peace now and eternal life in heaven. The way to reach this rest is by working hard in faith and obedience. If we are lazy now, we will miss this rest. Christians should encourage each other to keep going and not give up. As it says, The sleep of a labouring man is sweet (Ecclesiastes 5:12 ).
