This is what the Scripture says: “Today listen to what he says. Do not be stubborn as in the past when you turned against God.” And to whom was God talking when he promised that they would never enter his rest? He was talking to those who did not obey him. So we see they were not allowed to enter and have God’s rest, because they did not believe.Now, since God has left us the promise that we may enter his rest, let us be very careful so none of you will fail to enter. (Hebrews 3:15, 18, 19; 4:1 NCV)
Stubbornness, disobedience, unbelief are all problems of the heart and will of a person. This defiance towards God shuts us out from His promise of rest. ©Word-Strong_2014
