Hebrews 4:1-2 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.… 1. It's a great mercy in God to vouchsafe us the gospel, and to have it faithfully and constantly preached unto us so that we may hear it. 2. In this gospel there are precious promises, the chiefest whereof is that of entering into God's rest. 3. Men may hear the gospel preached, and yet receive no benefit by it through their own fault. 4. Therefore it concerns us all to fear this sin of apostasy as we fear loss of heavenly rest, God's eternal displeasure, hell, death, and eternal punishments. (G. Lawson.)
