Imperfect Faith

Romans 4:1-8
World English Bible (WEB)

4 What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh? ² For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God. ³ For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”^{[a] 4} Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed. ⁵ But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness. ⁶ Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works,

⁷ “Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven,
    whose sins are covered.
⁸ Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin.” ^[b]

World English Bible (WEB)

²⁰ My son, attend to my words.
    Turn your ear to my sayings.
²¹ Let them not depart from your eyes.
    Keep them in the center of your heart.
²² For they are life to those who find them,
    and health to their whole body.

God’s ways

Hebrews 3:7-13
World English Bible (WEB)

⁷ Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says,

“Today if you will hear his voice,
⁸ don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion,
    like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
⁹ where your fathers tested me by proving me,
    and saw my deeds for forty years.
¹⁰ Therefore I was displeased with that generation,
    and said, ‘They always err in their heart,
    but they didn’t know my ways;’
¹¹ as I swore in my wrath,
    ‘They will not enter into my rest.’”

¹² Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God; ¹³ but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called “today”; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

“My Rest” is the Land

• It doesn’t say “My Land” because people were walking towards Canaan
• But for us the land is “My Rest”

• Land flowing with milk and honey
• Land with provisions already ready
• From vineyards you didn’t plan
• From wells you didn’t dig

It’s the land of Rest

• Place where you come to rest
• Even though you didn’t see physically.
• We thank God because he is fighting our battle.
• Rest is how you please God

Opposite of God’s wrath

• My wrath –> My Rest

This is not God’ ways

• Ways People went through in the wilderness are not God’s ways

What is an evil heart?

• The heart of unbelief.
• sin is singular refering to unbelief

Exalt one another daily

Fear to rest

Hebrews 3:17-4:1
World English Bible (WEB)

¹⁷ With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn’t it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? ¹⁸ To whom did he swear that they wouldn’t enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient? ¹⁹ We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.

4 Let us fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest.

• As per this verse, the world is going to hell because of the unbelief in Christ.
  • Not because doing this, doing that. ..etc.
• This rest is not about heavenly rest
  • Because heaven doesn’t have this giants
  • and heaven doesn’t have this battle.
  • It’s a land of promise

How to enter rest?

• Believe

Hebrews 4:1-5
World English Bible (WEB)

4 Let us fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest. ² For indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they also did, but the word they heard didn’t profit them, because it wasn’t mixed with faith by those who heard. ³ For we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said, “As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter into my rest”;although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. ⁴ For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, “God rested on the seventh day from all his works”; ⁵ and in this place again, “They will not enter into my rest.”

Mix with faith

• God says, “You are healed” because of Jesus
  • Believe
• God says, “You will have more than enough”
  • Believe
• God says, “You will be prosperous”
  • Believe
• God says, “Everything will prosper”
  • Believe
• God says, “Success”
  • Believe
• Works were finished from the foundation of the world

Temporary Vs Eternal 

• What we see is temporary
• What we can’t see is eternal

During affliction see the invisible

2 Corinthians 4:16-18
World English Bible (WEB)

¹⁶ Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day. ¹⁷ For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;¹⁸ while we don’t look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Hebrews 11:24-29
World English Bible (WEB)

²⁴ By faith, Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, ²⁵ choosing rather to share ill treatment with God’s people, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time; ²⁶ accounting the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward. ²⁷ By faith, he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. ²⁸ By faith, he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them. ²⁹ By faith, they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up.

Unbelief

Numbers 13:23-33
World English Bible (WEB)

²³ They came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it on a staff between two. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs. ²⁴ That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there. ²⁵ They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days. ²⁶ They went and came to Moses, to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them and to all the congregation. They showed them the fruit of the land. ²⁷ They told him, and said, “We came to the land where you sent us. Surely it flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. ²⁸ However the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. Moreover, we saw the children of Anak there.²⁹ Amalek dwells in the land of the South. The Hittite, the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwell in the hill country. The Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along the side of the Jordan.”

³⁰ Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it!”

³¹ But the men who went up with him said, “We aren’t able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.” ³² They brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the children of Israel, saying, “The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people who we saw in it are men of great stature. ³³ There we saw the Nephilim,^[a] the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim.^[b] We were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.”

Belief

First Ever song in Bible 

Exodus 15:12-15
World English Bible (WEB)

¹² You stretched out your right hand.
    The earth swallowed them.
¹³ “You, in your loving kindness, have led the people that you have redeemed.
    You have guided them in your strength to your holy habitation.
¹⁴ The peoples have heard.
    They tremble.
    Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia.
¹⁵ Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed.
    Trembling takes hold of the mighty men of Moab.
    All the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.

Rahab about the Lord

• She got saved 40 years before ( while crossing red sea )

Joshua 2:9-11
World English Bible (WEB)

⁹ She said to the men, “I know that Yahweh has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you. ¹⁰ For we have heard how Yahweh dried up the water of the Red Sea before you, when you came out of Egypt; and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and to Og, whom you utterly destroyed. ¹¹ As soon as we had heard it, our hearts melted, and there wasn’t any more spirit in any man, because of you: for Yahweh your God, he is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath.

Overflowing Blessings

Deuteronomy 6:10-13
World English Bible (WEB)

¹⁰ It shall be, when Yahweh your God brings you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, great and goodly cities, which you didn’t build, ¹¹ and houses full of all good things, which you didn’t fill, and cisterns dug out, which you didn’t dig, vineyards and olive trees, which you didn’t plant, and you shall eat and be full; ¹² then beware lest you forget Yahweh, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.¹³ You shall fear Yahweh your God; and you shall serve him, and shall swear by his name.
