One of the most indispensable senses in our bodies is the tactile. The skin is an amazing organ, by which we communicate with our surroundings through a countless registry of sensorial perceptions that we start gathering from birth and that literally keep us alive.
Now imagine for a second that our bodies were made in such a way, that the only sensorial feeling we could experience was pleasure. If you touch fire, pleasure, if you get an electric shock, pleasure, break a leg or an arm, even more pleasure, cut or wound yourself, pure pleasure. How long do you believe we would survive? Maybe hours if not minutes!
Link: that makes pain a friend and the fear of pain an indispensable allied in order to survive! It is ironic that fear and pain are more indispensable to be alive than pleasure!
Hebrews 4:1 Therefore, let us fear lest, while a promise remains of entering `His rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it. For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also; but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who heard.
Outline: 1. The warning of faith: beware of unbelief 2. The power of faith: it unlocks God's promise in the Gospel 3. The purpose of faith: it brings God's rest 4. The motivation of faith: a Great High Priest that opened a Throne of Grace
THE CALL: Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall through following the same example of disobedience.
