希伯来书 4:9-10 RCUVSS

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Hebrews 4:1-11

(4) Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. (2) For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. (3) For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. (4) For he spake in a... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 4:1-10

1-10 The privileges we have under the gospel, are greater than any had under the law of Moses, though the same gospel for substance was preached under both Testaments. There have been in all ages many unprofitable hearers; and unbelief is at the root of all unfruitfulness under the word. Faith in the hearer is the life of the word. But it is a painful consequence of partial neglect, and of a loose and wavering profession, that they often cause men to seem to come short. Let us then give... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Hebrews 4:1-99

Hebrews 4 NO WONDER THEN that chapter 4 opens with the words, “Let us therefore fear.” This does not for one moment mean that we should always be filled with slavish dread, always doubting whether, enduring to the end, we shall be saved. It does mean that we should accept the warning which Israel’s history affords, that we should remember the deceitfulness of sin and the weakness of our own hearts, and have a wholesome fear of in any way following in their steps. The beginning of the second... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Hebrews 4:4-10

The rest remaining to the people of God: v. 4. For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest on the seventh day from all His works. v. 5. And in this place again, if they shall enter into My rest. v. 6. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief; v. 7. again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, Today, after so long a time; as it is said, Today if ye... read more

IIIThe promise of entering into the rest of God not only still remains in force, but applies specially to us ChristiansHebrews 4:1-101Let us therefore fear, lest [perchance], a promise being left us [there remaining a promise] of entering into his rest, any [one] of you should [may] seem to [have] come short of it. 2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them [For we have had the glad announcement just as did also they]: but the word preached [the word of their hearing] did not... read more

Hebrews ENTRANCE INTO GOD’S REST Heb_4:9-10 WE lose much of the meaning of this passage by our superficial habit of transferring it to a future state. The ground of the mistake is in the misinterpretation of that word ‘remaineth’; which is taken to point to the ‘rest,’ after the sorrows of this life are all done with. Of course there is such a rest; but if we take the context of the passage, we cannot but recognise this as the truth that is taught here, that faith, and not death, is the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Hebrews 4:1-10

the Rest That Joshua Could Not Give Hebrews 4:1-10 The good news of Canaan’s rest was preached to Israel but availed nothing, because the hearers were destitute of faith. They said, Can God ? instead of, God can ! They thought of their enemies as giants and themselves as grasshoppers, because they left God out of account. Take God into account -and we are giants and our enemies grasshoppers. To all of us Christ offers rest , not in the other life only, but in this. See Hebrews 4:3 ;... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 4:1-16

The picture of the whole generation who perished in the wilderness is brought to mind, and the question is, What did they lack, and why did they perish? They did not lack the message of "good tidings." It was preached to them. They did not fail to hear the message. The reason was that "the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard." Where faith is lacking, the provisions of God are unavailing. Nevertheless, the purpose of God abides, and... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Hebrews 4:1-13

Let Us Hebrews 4:1-13 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Every book in the Bible is correlated with every other book. The Bible is a perfect whole. No book can be taken away without its unity and continuity being broken. However, every book in the Bible has its own peculiar and particular message a message wherein stress is placed on some special call of God. The Book of Hebrews is a Book of many great messages. It encompasses a wide range of truth. However, to us there stands out one great central plea.... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 4:9

‘There remains therefore a sabbath-rest for the people of God.’ That being so there therefore remains for God’s people a ‘sabbath-rest’ (sabbatismos). This is a late word from sabbatiz“ (Exodus 16:30) and means here a ‘keeping of the rest as described in Genesis 2:0 and later symbolised in the Sabbath’. It may have been coined by the author. Here it is paralleled with katapausis (‘rest’ - compare Hebrews 4:1; Hebrews 4:3-4 etc. and Acts 7:49). In Revelation 14:13 a similar verb (anapauo) refers... read more
