Hebrews 4:6

6 It is still true that some people will enter God's rest, but those who first heard the way to be saved did not enter, because they did not obey.

Hebrews 4:6 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 4:6

Seeing therefore it remaineth
It follows by just consequence,

that some must enter therein;
for God's swearing concerning some, that they should not enter into his rest, supposes that others should: and

they to whom it was first preached;
to whom the Gospel was first preached, namely, the Israelites in the wilderness: entered not in because of unbelief; See ( Hebrews 3:19 ) .

Hebrews 4:6 In-Context

4 In the Scriptures he talked about the seventh day of the week: "And on the seventh day God rested from all his works."

5 And again in the Scripture God said, "They will never enter my rest."

6 It is still true that some people will enter God's rest, but those who first heard the way to be saved did not enter, because they did not obey.

7 So God planned another day, called "today." He spoke about that day through David a long time later in the same Scripture used before: "Today listen to what he says. Do not be stubborn."

8 We know that Joshuan did not lead the people into that rest, because God spoke later about another day.
