Hebrews Study Notes—Chapter 4

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 4:10
  
  the man who has entered into God’s rest: God chose to rest by ceasing to carry out earthly works of creation. He did so in order to let his purpose respecting the earth come to a glorious fulfillment. (Ge 2:2, 3) Paul urges Hebrew Christians to work in harmony with God’s advancing purpose by resting “from [their] own works,” that is, by accepting God’s arrangements for redemption through Christ. They could not establish their own righteousness through personal efforts, including performing works based on the Mosaic Law, which was by then considered dead. (Ro 10:4; Col 2:13, 14; Heb 7:12; compare study note on Heb 6:1.) Additionally, they needed to avoid falling into the “pattern of disobedience” set by the unfaithful Israelites.—Heb 4:11; see study note on Heb 4:3.
