The Rest mentioned in Hebrews speaks of ceasing from our own works through faith in His promises. We need to walk in that rest and in that peace so that we are not condemned of the devil, separated from the faith of God, separated from the things that God wants to do through us.
If you have unbelief, you will be disobedient and one reason is you cannot cease from your own works when you don’t believe God’s already done it. You always want to help Him out or you get your eyes on the world and on your problems. You fall victim to fear and doubt and discouragement, and all those things that happen when people live by what they see with their physical eyes, rather than what they see in the Bible.
If we keep our eyes on the Son, the Lord Jesus, on the Word of God, on the promises, we will enter into the rest, which is ceasing from our works. If not, then we’re going to be looking at the problems in the world and we’re going to be forced through fear, doubt and unbelief to align with the world, which is not sanctification. If we get our eyes on Jesus, then we can walk out from the world.
