Preparing yourself for the study of God’s Word
Before we begin, if you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ (that is— you have trusted in Him for eternal life), it is important to prepare yourself to take-in God’s Word or participating in a Communion Service, so take a moment to name, cite or acknowledge your sins privately directly to God the Father. This will assure that you are in fellowship with God the Father and the Holy Spirit’s convicting ministry, also called the convincing ministry will then be able to teach you as the Holy Spirit is the real teacher and the pastor’s message is the vehicle the Holy Spirit uses to convince you what you are learning is true or not.
1 John 1:9 says—“If we confess [simply name, cite or acknowledge to God the Father] our sins [known sins], He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins [known sins] and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness [all unknown and forgotten sins];” NKJV (New King James Version); we call this REBOUND, read the full doctrine as to “why” we need to use 1 John 1:9 to grow spiritually. REBOUND
If you have never personally believed in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior (
that is, believed in Him for eternal life), the issue for you is not to name your sins to God; the issue for you is to believe by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone for eternal life and you will be saved the very second you believe in Him:
John 6:47 says: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me [Jesus Christ] has everlasting life.” NKJV
Notice again what John 6:47 says,
“he who believes in Me [
Jesus Christ]
has everlasting life.” It doesn’t say, “will have”; it says, “
has.” Therefore, the very moment you believe Jesus Christ’s promise of everlasting life, you have it (
it’s really just that simple), and it can never be lost or taken away from you (
John 10:28-29). Furthermore, the gift of everlasting life (
also called eternal life in scripture) is available to every human being; there are absolutely no exceptions.
John 3:14-18 says: “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” NKJV
NOTES
Unlike the bible study, these notes are not just for reading without watching the video. These notes are more designed to follow along during the sermon and to bring up the “hover pop-up scripture references” (some websites may require to left click the link, if that doesn’t work then look them up in your Bible) when the Pastor asks everyone to turn to that passage in their bibles.
Sermon: Dispensation of the Mosaic Law.
The Fourth Commandment: The Sabbath. Part 3.
13. The temporal Sabbath or rest, Heb 3:7-13.
b. The moment by moment Sabbath, Heb 4:1-7.
14. The third type of Sabbath is the interim stage of the Sabbath or rest which begins the day of your death or Rapture to the eternal Sabbath of eternal life; Matt 11:28.
In 6 days God took the earth, which was a mess from the ruler-ship of Satan and He restored and converted it into a wonderful place to live.
In 6 days He provided everything that man would need on the earth to survive and live in happiness = Food, perfect climate, a garden, He even provided a Bible class with the greatest Bible teacher of all time…the Lord God.
The verb is kalah which means to end, to be finished, to complete, to be totally at rest.
Rested – Qal imperfect of shabath ie. Sabbath means to rest.
On the 7th day or on Saturday, God finished His work, in Gen 2:2.
Gen 2:2 says…that He ended or finished His work. This is what we call ”Sabbath” or the “rest of grace”. Everything that man would ever need was provided by God. So…He rested.
Perfect environment was provided, and nothing could be added to it!
This is what we call grace…God does the work and man does the benefitting.
Gen 2:2 to Exo 16:23, no reference is made to the Sabbath. So you go at least from Gen 2:2 to Exo 16 which is approximately 1441 B.C.
This is why the Sabbath is like circumcision and baptism = not needed for salvation since there were thousands of years where the Sabbath was even acknowledged let alone celebrated.
They would work for 6 days…Sunday through Friday. Then, on the 7th day, Saturday, man would rest.
As Paul said in Rom 11:6 “But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace.”
There is nothing like stopping the routine and having a day when things completely stop. So that you can be reminded of grace. “Rest” is a memorial to the grace of God.
Just like God provided for Adam in perfect environment, God has provided for you in eternity past everything you will ever need.
The Sabbath always had this connotation! It was a “thinking day” not a working day! A day the grace of God was to be commemorated.
The N.T. application of the Sabbath is the subject of rest.
Rest is a peace in the mind and spirit. Rest means that I’m free from worrying, anxiety frustration, etc.
It also means to remain confident. To trust under extreme pressure.
The most popular O.T. Hebrew word is the word nuwach -it means to settle down, (which is something many people need); To give comfort; To be at rest from troubles and anxieties.
Loipoi, the most popular Greek word for rest means recreation and the remaining rest for the believer.
One Greek word I want to give you is anapauo = to cease from work in order to receive strength.
The state of mind in which there is complete and total peace being free from worries, anxieties and fears.
Point 2. Salvation Rest, Matt 11:28. Salvation is described in terms of rest, the rest of eternal life.
Eternal life is not characterized by resting, but by tranquility and blessing.
Point 3. Supergrace Rest.
The land of Canaan is a type of the supergrace life, and in the context of Heb 3:11, supergrace is manifest by faith rest.
The maximum use of faith-rest with doctrine and the maximum application of doctrine from the heart or the right lobe of the soul.
Heb 3:11 as I swore in my wrath, ‘they shall not enter my rest.’ “
Heb 4:1 3 (in Heb 4:3) we have what is known an elliptical oath which says that this rest was provided for the Jews in eternity past, yet their disobedience of unbelief will keep them out of it.
There is a temporal sabbath i.e., mentioned in Heb 3:11 and this is for all believers. This is the sabbath for the mature believer.
1. If you had saddled a horse on Friday, you could not remove the saddle if the horse was still saddled on the sabbath. On Saturday you couldn’t saddle or unsaddle a horse.
2. On Saturday you couldn’t cook anything.
3. If you have mud on your robe you were not allowed to clean it off.
4. You couldn’t stop anyone from bleeding on the Sabbath, you had to wait for Sunday “The commandment said to remember grace.” The commandment was a ritual. It had to do with what you think.
Heb 3:7-10, Notice the phrase in verse 10…they have not known my ways.
The modern tendency of apostasy today stresses the works and production of the believer. just like the Jews distorted the ritual sabbath, most Christians distort the real one.
The main problem is the believer’s ignorance of doctrine.
When God gets down to indicting you He doesn’t mention your failure to do this or that but He indicts you for your stupidity and ignorance concerning His plan.
Ignorance of doctrine means a breakdown of the spiritual sabbath in your life which is in reality….faith-rest.
This rest is a state in which the believer has a relaxed mental attitude no matter what the situation may look like.
A heart of unbelief is a heart without rest.
No faith-rest is to say God is a liar.
