Will you trust Me?”                                      Lesson 20

                               The Challenge of living the FAITH-REST LIFE

Review:

 

 

 

 

4. The loss of promised blessings (3:18-19).

 

 

 

 

 

The Faith-Rest Life is a life which encompasses three aspects:

First, it is a life in which the believer rests through faith in the finished work of God in Christ.

 

 

 

Second, flowing out from this basic confidence in Christ, it is then a life which the believer enters through faith into God's daily rest,  His provision for strength and faithfulness, that is, prayerfully and dependently laboring in the strength which our great High Priest supplies (4:16).

 

 

 

Finally, 3rd it is a life in which the believer, through faith, anticipates God's final rest, the rest of His inheritance,  face to face in a resurrection body reigning with Him.
