Hebrews 4:1–5:10 A REST FOR GOD’S PEOPLE / 4:1–13 People have always attempted to earn their way into heaven. Some have been zealous in religious efforts of all kinds to earn approval from their gods. Others have thought that they could comprehend the ultimate reality through philosophy. In our day, many people piece together a religious faith with parts of a variety of religious viewpoints. These verses state that only those who believe the word of God will enter God’s rest and receive his approval.
