A Sabbath rest remains for God's people, since neither Joshua nor the wilderness generation fully entered it; believers must strive to enter that rest through faith rather than fall through disobedience. The word of God is living, active, and sharper than any sword, discerning thoughts and intentions; therefore believers should approach the throne of grace boldly, since their high priest Jesus sympathizes with their weaknesses.
