Enter into God's Rest.
Enter into His Rest... this topic is definitely not my first time heard of this topic shared in NCC by p. prince
but as i hear it over and over again, it's becomes stucked in my head as i could remembered... what's does it mean to enter into God's rest? AS i was thinking through what p.j shared last weekend on what's it is finding rest in ourselves or in God's... How then we find rest in God, only by obeying.. In Isa 1:18-19, God promised we will eat the best of the land if we are willing and obedient.

One of the illustration which i still remembered is p.j shared of when someone gives a treat, even to the last cents, we would want to contribute to it so that we will be less guilty of allwoing that person "a lesser treat" :p not a very good "England" construction.. p.j mentioned when Jesus died on the cross, all our sins have been washed away, but some of the basic still thought that they have to contribute by the so call "daily rituals" or quotas... then they will feel better... it's not that i'm saying dun need to do, but are we bluffing ourselves so that when we do just to fulfil that obligations... Since Jesus had fully paid our sins, then why are we still working to gain that salvation when grace we have been saved, through faith.. (Eph 2: 8-9), talking abt myself, i too have to admit that sometimes i also fell into this trap of deceiving myself by doing the "right" thing...
