QUESTION: What works were finished from the foundation of the world? (
Heb. 4:3
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. (Hebrews 4:3)
.) What is the rest which remains to the people of God? (v. 9.)
ANSWER: God had wrought in creation and then rested from His works when He had finished them. But sin entered the creation and now God cannot rest until it is removed, so the rest of God is still future, and believers will enter into it. We are to take care not to appear as though coming short of it. Our portion is to be laboring now as Christians. It will be resting when God's rest comes.
All taint of sin shall be removed,
All evil done away,
And we shall dwell with God's Beloved,
Through God's eternal day.
