we all sin. some just choose to accept that we are forgiven others would rather earn it,
Wow! Now law keepers are seeking to earn forgiveness. Thank you Dr. Freud for your incredible insights into other people's minds. You are a sick, judgmental man. But hey, if it makes you feel better to cut me down, have at it. My Savior had to deal with the false accusations of ignorant men as well. I'm in good company.
As for the sabbath we rest from our "own' works in Christ,
How come the believers of Revelation 14:13 do not get to rest from their labors until they die?
this one
Mat_11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Yeshua does NOT give anyone a physical rest. That is why we still need sleep and the Sabbath rest. I, and all Sabbath keepers rejoice in the spiritual rest we have in Messiah. We rest from sin and from seeking to be justified by our works.
and this one
Heb 3:10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
Heb 3:11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
Heb 3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
The subjects of this verse could not enter YHWH's rest because they had no FAITH, not because they had YHWH's Sabbath.
and this one
Heb 3:18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
and one more
Heb 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
Yes, they had the gospel, but NO FAITH. In your ignorance, you blame the Sabbath instead of their lack of faith to obey YHWH and believe His words.
Heb 4:3 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.
Heb 4:4 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.
Heb 4:5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
Heb 4:6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
Heb 4:7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
Heb 4:8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
Heb 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
Heb 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
Heb 4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
The original account from which
Hebrews 4:1-11 is taken is found in
Numbers 14:22-24,
28-30, and
Deuteronomy 1:30-40. In both passages it was the "land" (of Canaan) that was being withheld because of unbelief. The children of Israel were on their wilderness journey to the "promised land," which was a type of the "rest" to come. Joshua brought them into that land or the typical "rest" (
Joshua 1:13-15;
21:44;
22:4), yet the Almighty again spoke through David concerning this greater rest. In
Psalm 95:11, David uses the phrase "my rest" instead of "the land" as in the original promise. Why? Because "the land" was only a type of the future rest to come when true believers enter into the true promised land, the "heavenly country" that the patriarchs of old saw from afar (
Hebrews 11:13-16).
We are currently on our wilderness journey as well. We are heading for the heavenly country promised us. Just as the Israelites continued keeping the Sabbath rest throughout their wilderness journey, so, too, must we continue to keep the Sabbath rest. In fact, the Israelites continued to keep the Sabbath even after entering the typical promised land of Canaan. We, too, will continue in the Sabbath rest as prophesied by Isaiah (66:22,23) even after the new heaven and new earth come.
If the common Christian view of
Hebrews 4:10 is correct, that the Sabbath is abolished because we have entered the true rest, then, to be consistent, it must also be true that all work is abolished since we have ceased from our own works. In other words, if the physical rest is done away with, then the physical labor should also be done away with. However, since believers continue to do physical labors like farming, construction work, etc., they should also continue to rest from such labor as it is written. Additionally, the Sabbath rest is commanded for the sake of animals as well. Is it now permissible for farmers to work their animals seven days a week? Do animals somehow enter into the true rest as well?
Hebrews 4:11 talks about laboring to enter into that rest. It is not something we automatically receive upon accepting Yeshua as our Savior except by faith. That rest will become a reality upon our resurrection unto eternal life. That is why we see the saints of
Revelation 14:12,
13 laboring right up until death. It is only after death that the ultimate rest can literally begin. Note, also, that those saints "keep the commandments of God" (KJV), among which is the Sabbath.
We certainly can find rest for our souls in Messiah (
Matthew 11:28,
29), but he does not give our bodies rest, nor does he give animals rest. That kind of rest is only available through the Sabbath rest.
Jeremiah 6:16 reads, "Thus saith Yahweh, 'Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.' But they said, 'We will not walk therein.' " The "old paths" and the "good way" that provides a "rest for the soul" includes the keeping of Yahweh's Sabbaths. Notice the similar wording found in
Isaiah 58:12,
13. The rest we have in Yeshua is only a foretaste of the rest to come at his second coming when we will be dwelling in the presence of the Father and the Son in the glorious "heavenly country".
the law requires you too work therefore you are not resting and continually breaking the Sabbath,,
AS a believer in Messiah Yeshua, I am not "required" to work. I am "ordained" to work (Ephesians 2:10).
If you want teh Sabbath it is your so keep just dont lay that burden on Gods people.
1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
You have such a woefully distorted view of YHWH's laws that you consider them a burden, but YHWH's true people consider them a joy.
Psa 119:174 I have longed for thy salvation, O YHWH; and thy law is my delight.
Psa 19:8 The statutes of YHWH are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of YHWH is pure, enlightening the eyes.
Act_15:24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
The context is about being saved by keeping the law. I do no such thing. I am saved by grace through faith. My obedience to the Law is a fruit of my salvation.
