16.What is the "rest" of God?

The land of promise, the inheritance of the Christian.

In verse eleven the expression is employed, "They shall not enter my rest." What is the rest of God?

The Book of Hebrews is an exhortation to Christian disciples to enter the rest of God. What is the goal of the Christian discipline?

What is the "mark" toward which Paul was pressing?

The rest of God is not rest as in sleep. The rest of God concerns our grasp on our inheritance in Christ. It is the place where we have arrived at all that God has spoken concerning us.

We have not entered fully into the rest as yet but we are laboring to enter that rest, if we are a Christian saint who is being led by the Spirit of God.
