Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Hebrews 4:1-10

Here, I. The apostle declares that our privileges by Christ under the gospel are not only as great, but greater than those enjoyed under the Mosaic law. He specifies this, that we have a promise left us of entering into his rest; that is, of entering into a covenant-relation to Christ, and a state of communion with God through Christ, and of growing up therein, till we are made perfect in glory. We have discoveries of this rest, and proposals, and the best directions how we may attain unto it.... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Hebrews 4:1-10

4:1-10 It is true that the promise which offers entry into the rest of God still remains for us; but beware lest any of you be adjudged to have missed it. It is indeed true that we have had the good news preached to us, just as those of old had. But the word which they heard was no good to them, because it did not become woven into the very fibre of their being through faith. It is we who have made the decision of faith who are entering into the rest, for of them God said: "I swore in my... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 4:3

For we which have believed do enter into rest ,.... Not eternal rest; all believers shall enjoy this, and they only; but this is not now, or at present enjoyed, unless things future may be said to be present, because of faith in them, and the certainty of them but spiritual rest in Christ under the Gospel dispensation, which is a rest from the burden of the law of Moses, and from all toil and labour for life, and salvation by works, and lies in an enjoyment of much inward peace of soul,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 4:4

For he spake in a certain place ,.... Genesis 2:2 that is, Moses, the penman of that book spoke, or God by him: of the seventh day on this wise ; of the seventh day of the world, or from the creation of the heavens and the earth: and God did rest the seventh day from all his works : of creation, but not of providence; for in them he works hitherto; nor does this rest suppose labour with fatigue and weariness, and ease and refreshment from it; only cessation from working in a... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 4:5

And in this place again ,.... In Psalm 95:11 he speaks again of another rest distinct from that on the seventh day; which, and not the latter, is what believers under the Gospel dispensation enter into: if they shall enter into my rest : that is, unbelievers shall not enter into it; as the unbelieving Israelites did not enter into the typical rest, so neither shall any unbeliever enter into the Gospel rest, the antitype of the former. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 4:3

For we which have believed do enter into rest - The great spiritual blessings, the forerunners of eternal glory, which were all typified by that earthly rest or felicity promised to the ancient Israelites, we Christians do, by believing in Christ Jesus, actually possess. We have peace of conscience, and joy in the Holy Ghost; are saved from the guilt and power of sin; and thus enjoy an inward rest. But this is a rest differing from the seventh day's rest, or Sabbath, which was the original... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 4:4

For he spake in a certain place - This certain place or somewhere, που , is probably Genesis 2:2 ; and refers to the completion of the work of creation, and the setting apart the seventh day as a day of rest for man, and a type of everlasting felicity. See the notes on Genesis 2:1 , etc., and See here Hebrews 2:6 ; (note). read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 4:5

And in this place again - In the ninety-fifth Psalm, already quoted, Psalm 95:3 . This was a second rest which the Lord promised to the believing, obedient seed of Abraham; and as it was spoken of in the days of David, when the Jews actually possessed this long promised Canaan, therefore it is evident that that was not the rest which God intended, as the next verse shows. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 4:3

Verse 3 He now begins to embellish the passage which he had quoted from David. He has hitherto taken it, as they say, according to the letter, that is, in its literal sense; but he now amplifies and decorates it; and thus he rather alludes to than explains the words of David. This sort of decoration Paul employed in Romans 10:6, in referring to these words of Moses, “Say not, who shall ascend into heaven!” etc. Nor is it indeed anything unsuitable, in accommodating Scripture to a subject in... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 4:1-11

The gospel rest. In this passage the writer explains what is to be understood by the "rest" to which God had invited his ancient people, and urges the Hebrews of his own day to strive to attain it as the most Divine of all blessings. I. THE REST OF GOD . "His rest" ( Hebrews 4:1 ); "my rest" ( Hebrews 4:3 , Hebrews 4:5 ). Rest belongs essentially to God, for he is all-perfect and self-harmonious. Being infinite in purity and love, in knowledge and power, he is the God... read more
