Hebrews 3:7-13
"Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, 8.
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in
the wilderness: 9. When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my
works forty years. 10. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation,
and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my
ways. 11. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
12. Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of
unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13. But exhort one another
daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the
deceitfulness of sin."
Romans 15:4
"For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our
learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have
hope."
1 Corinthians 10:1-2
"Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that
all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2.
And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;"
1 Corinthians 10:11
"Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they
are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world [ages]
are come."
Hebrews 3:7-8
"Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye (brethren,
v. 12) will hear his voice, 8. Harden not your hearts,
as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:”
Hebrews 3:12
"Take heed [present active imperative],
brethren (2:11,13 children), lest there be in any of you an evil
heart of unbelief [no faith, lack of confidence, stop
pleasing God], in departing from the living God."
Hebrews 3:1
"Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling,
consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession,
Christ Jesus;"
Hebrews 4:14
"Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the
heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession."
Hebrews 9:11
“But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a
greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not
of this building;”
Hebrews 9:15
"And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by
means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were
under the first testament, they which are called might receive the
promise (rest, 4:1) of eternal [agelasting]
inheritance.”
Hebrews 4:1
"Let us (brethren) therefore fear, lest, a
[the] promise [agelasting inheritance, 9:15] being left
us of entering into his rest, any of you
should seem to come short [lack, Mark 10:21] of it."
Hebrews 12:15-17
"Looking diligently lest any man fail [come short] of the
grace of God; lest any root of bitterness
springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 16. Lest
there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel
of meat sold his birthright. 17. For ye know how that afterward,
when he would have inherited the blessing, he was
rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it
carefully with tears."
Hebrews 4:3-5
"For we which have believed do enter into rest, as
he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest:
although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4. For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise,
And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. 5. And in
this place again, If they shall enter into my rest."
Matthew 13:35
"That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I
will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept
secret from the foundation of the world."
Matthew 25:34
"Then shall the King say unto them on
his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared
for you from the foundation of the world:"
