shall never enter my rest

[valueallhumanlife2008]

I need some help with this one.

"So I declared on oath in my anger, They shall never enter my rest." Hebrews 3:11

How is this scripture reconciled with universal salvation?  Thanks

Chris

Hi and welcome 2008

Briefly

Those who enter HIS REST( HIM) are those of Belief, which can only be entered BY Faith, the removing of the veil

We leave the Flesh , the enmity of the carnal Mind..

Gods Wrath is ON the Children of Disobedience\enmity \adversity\flesh of which we all Once were...moving from a Child Under LAW to a SON of Faith.

Times short for now but others will add more along with scriptural references for you.

Good to have you here

Hey Sweets!  Hi Taffy  In my study bible, rest refers to the believers eternal home and the joy that he or she will experience in Jesus presence. I really like how Taffy explained there, she pretty much explained Hebrews 3:11. It also explained that the author of Hebrews warned the Jewish Christians about hardening their hearts to God and the Salvation He offers, this is found in Ps 95:7-11. In Moses' generation they had refused to trust in God for their needs while they were in the wilderness, found in Ex 17:1-7. Im glad your here Sweets! Much Love!  God bless you!
