Mixing God's Word with Faith brings Rest! Our trust and reliance on Christ's completed work is the rest that was prophesied and is available to all believers today. It takes an effort to enter Rest because its not automatic. As we enter God's faith-Rest life we cease from our own works. We also experience the fulfillment of the promises.
- God's Word activates the Faith of Christ in us.
- Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.
- Hearing God's Word activates Faith
- Faith activates the promises of God
- We then enter the confident realm of Rest
We have to labor (put forth an effort) in the Word and Prayer to enter into God's Rest!
