Let’s Go Deeper:
1.
Many unbelieving Israelites entered the physical land of Canaan but still failed to enter into God’s rest.
What does that tell us about the heart of these Israelites?
What does it suggest about the importance of the heart in regards to salvation?
2. How does the creation narrative and God’s Sabbath rest on the seventh day of creation serve the argument of this passage?
3. Why is it so difficult for us to rest from our attempt to merit our own righteousness?
Why is resting such a constant struggle for Christians?
4. How would you respond to someone who says, “I don’t need theology or the Bible; I just need Jesus”?
How could you use this passage to support your argument?
