    As believers we have entered into His rest by grace (peace with God) AND that we also must make every effort to obtain what God has already provided (peace of God)...

From God’s Word we learn that rest has several meanings: * The seventh day of creation and the weekly Sabbath celebrating it (Gen. 2:2; Heb. 4:4-9) * The ...read more
