What is necessary for you to enjoy the blessing that God desires for you?

I. Know what God offers you is greater than what you can achieve on your own. (7-11)

Hebrews 3: So, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice, 8 do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the wilderness, 9 where your ancestors tested and tried me, though for forty years they saw what I did.

Hebrews 3: That is why I was angry with that generation; I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.’ 11 So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ”

I. Know what God offers you is greater than what you can achieve on your own. (7-11) A. Israel had the offer of promised land- a rest (Psalm 95:7-11)

When someone speaks ill of another Christian --- or of a church --- remind yourself of one thing: the one doing the criticizing is almost always the one with the bigger problem. When one is focused on the person and mission of Jesus we have no time for complaining

II. Trust and obey Him. (12-19)

Hebrews 3: See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. 13 But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. 14 We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end

Hebrews 3: As has just been said: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.” 16 Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt

Hebrews 3: And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies perished in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed? 19 So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.”
