So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief” Hebrews 3:16-19.

“Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it.
For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also; but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who heard.
For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said,
‘As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter My rest,’” Hebrews 4:1-3.
