Let us fear lest we fail to rest in Christ. The first let us statement in the book of Hebrews says, Therefore...let us fear. (Hebrews 4:1) Does that statement surprise or offend you? Most Christians have no room for fear. The words in Hebrews, let us fear, are addressed to Christian believers, not unbelievers. Bear in mind that there is always a possibility of not getting what God has appointed for us. The entire verse says, Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. Every promise is two-sided. It offers you good, but if you fail to claim the promise, you are deprived of something. So much in the Christian life is the same way. The good is available, but there is always the possibility of missing it. I believe that we have to come with this attitude of fear if we are going to be able to enter into Gods rest. Say out loud: Thank You, Lord, for the promise of entering Your rest. I proclaim that I come to God with the proper attitude of fear to enter into His rest. I shall fear lest I fail to rest in Christ, Amen!
