ENTER GOD'S REST!

ENTER GOD’S REST.

Hebrews 4:1-4

There is a rest that can only be enjoyed in God both physically and spiritually that will eventually culminate in the Sabbath restof eternity. That is God’s rest!

God wants us to rest, not just the physical rest that is thestate of quiet or repose, the cessation from motion or labour and rest frommental exertion of the body or mind but He also wants a spiritual for us evenin this life.

God's heavenly rest offered to the saints of old, continuestoday, and like some of them, we either refuse or fail to reach this rest.Jesus invites all who are burdened with sin and religious labour to come forrest.

He invites sinners, wearied in the ways of iniquity to comereceive speedy relief. To come have the rest that we are so in need off, deniedin the world and promises in turn in Isaiah 62:1 that He will not rest untilour righteousness goes forth as brightness.

Believers, tempted, and oppressed by the carnal mind, maycome to Christ, and allow his blood, to cleanse them from all unrighteousness, andpurified them from all sin.

God’s rest offered here will release the believer from theyoke of routine religion, making them humble and meek like Himself, whilegranting them rest and peace.

God offers rest to the weary, tired, oppressed, and hopeless.Wherever you are right now that has become a burden and creates the spirit offatigue can be refreshed in the Lord, He did not intend for us to care forourselves hence His invitation in Psalm 55:22 and 1 Peter 5:7 to cast ourburdens, anxiety, fears, and whatnots on Him, so we can pick up his rest.

We are his own, the sheep of his pastures that he feeds anddirects with his powerful hand protecting us.

But we must hear his voice, "Today," rightly used,you have no time to lose; tomorrow may be too late to enter God’s rest ofsalvation.

If we neglect and ignore God’s call and harden our hearts andears to the sound of His voice; as the Israelites did and wandered in thewilderness for forty years as stated in Joshua 5:6, we too will face theconsequences of not responding to the invitation for rest.

Forty years is a long time in one’s life to wander aroundwithout a firm plan and rest. Unbelief, doubt, and disobedience can keep us ina wilderness of our making, either physically stagnant or spiritually andfinancially crippled which will make it critical to seek and enter God’s rest.

Unfortunately, just as it was for the Israelites whodisobeyed God, by failing to completely trust His promises, we can fail toenter the rest that is eternal life, as they failed to enter the Promised Land.

God’s rest is salvation!

The promise of rest refers to believers, especially as thoseto whom the promise was made failed to enter it. Their failure was not becausethe rest was unprepared, because it existed since the day that God finished Hiswork of creation. This is the rest referenced in Genesis 2:2, God rest. God'srest is true, and it is His purpose that anyone who trusts and obeys Him shallenter that rest.

A foretaste of the rest Is given in the inward rest that thebeliever's soul has in Christ, a rest which, when once obtained, is never lostaccording to Revelation 3:12.

Do you desire God’s rest? Do not harden your heart, it’s nottoo late to enter God’s rest. The Lord invites us in Matthew 11:28 to come to Himif we’re weary and carry heavy burdens, and He promises to give you rest.”

PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank you for inviting me to rest in yourlove, help me to humbly accept and enter your rest in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Shalom

Tafsir Ibn Kathir: Surah Al-Anfal Ayah 2-4

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

8:2 The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts and when His Ayat are recited unto them, they increase their faith; and they put their trust in their Lord;

8:3 Who perform the Salah and spend out of what We have provided them.

8:4 It is they who are the believers in truth. For them are grades of dignity with their Lord, and forgiveness and a generous provision (Paradise).

Allah says;

The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts and when His Ayat are recited unto them, they increase their faith; and they put their trust in their Lord;

Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn Abbas said about the Ayah , The believers (are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts),

"None of Allah's remembrance enters the hearts of the hypocrites upon performing what He has ordained. They neither believe in any of Allah's Ayat nor trust (in Allah) nor pray if they are alone nor pay the Zakah due on their wealth. Allah stated that they are not believers. He then, described thebelievers by saying The believers are only those (who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts) and they perform what He has ordained, andwhenHisAyatare(recited unto them, they increase their faith) and and they put their(conviction trust in their Lord), having hope in none except Him.''

Mujahid commented on, their hearts(­Wajilat),

"Their hearts become afraid and fearful.''

Similar was said by As-Suddi and several others.

The quality of a true believer is that when Allah is mentioned, he feels a fear in his heart, and thus implements His orders and abstains from His prohibitions.

Allah said in a similar Ayah,

And those who, when they have committed Fahishah (immoral sin) or wronged themselves with evil, remember Allah and ask forgiveness for their sins; -- and none can forgive sins but Allah -- and do not persist in what (wrong) they have done, while they know. (3:135)

and,

But as for him who feared standing before his Lord, and restrained himself from vain desires. Verily, Paradise will be his abode. )79:40-41(

Sufyan Ath-Thawri narrated that As-Suddi commented, The believers are (only those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts),

"A man might be thinking of committing injustice or a sin. But he abstains when he is told, `Have Taqwa of Allah', and his heart becomes fearful.'''

Faith increases when the Qur'an is recited

Allah's statement,

And when His Ayat are recited unto them, they increase their faith;

is similar to His statement,

And whenever there comes down a Surah, some of them (hypocrites) say: "Which of you has had his faith increased by it!'' As for those who believe, it has increased their faith, and they rejoice. (9:124)

Al-Bukhari and other scholars relied on this Ayah (8:2) and those similar, as evidence that faith increases and varies in strength from heart to heart.

This is also the view of the majority of the scholars of Islam, prompting some scholars, such as Ash-Shafi`i, Ahmad bin Hanbal and Abu Ubayd to declare that this is the consensus of the Ummah, as we mentioned in the beginning of the explanation of Sahih Al-Bukhari. All the thanks and praises are due to Allah.

The Reality of Tawakkul

Allah said,

And they put their trust in their Lord.

Therefore, the believers hope in none except Allah, direct their dedication to Him alone, seek refuge with Him alone, invoke Him alone for their various needs and supplicate to Him alone. They know that whatever He wills, occurs and that whatever He does not will never occurs, that He alone is the One Who has the decision in His kingdom, without partners; none can avert the decision of Allah and He is swift in reckoning.

Hence the statement of Sa`id bin Jubayr, "Tawakkul of Allah is the essence of faith.

Deeds of Faithful Believers

Allah said next,

Who perform the Salah and spend out of what We have provided them.

Allah describes the actions of the believers after He mentioned their faith. The acts mentioned here include all types of righteous acts, such as establishing prayer, which is Allah's right.

Qatadah said,

"Establishing the prayer requires preserving its times, making ablution for it, bowing down and prostrating.''

Muqatil bin Hayyan said,

"Establishing the prayer means to preserve its times, perform perfect purity for it, perform perfect bowings and prostrations, recite the Qur'an during it, sitting for Tashahhud and reciting the Salah (invoking Allah's blessings) for the benefit of the Prophet.''

Spending from what Allah has granted includes giving the Zakah and the rest of the what is due from the servant, either what is obligatory or recommended. All of the servants are Allah's dependents, and the most beloved among them to Him are the most beneficial to His creation.

The Reality of Faith

Allah's statement,

It is they who are the believers in truth.

means, those who have these qualities are the believers with true faith.

The Fruits of Perfect Faith

Allah said,

For them are grades of dignity with their Lord,

meaning, they have different grades, ranks and status in Paradise,

They are in varying grades with Allah, and Allah is All-Seer of what they do. (3:163)

Next, Allah said,

and forgiveness,

therefore, Allah will forgive them their sins and reward them for their good deeds.

a generous provision (Paradise).

In the Two Sahihs, it is recorded that the Messenger of Allah said,

The residents of Illiyyin (in Paradise) are seen from those below them, just as you see the distant planet in the horizon of the sky.

They said, "O Allah's Messenger! They are the grades of the Prophets that none except them would attain.''

The Prophet said,

Rather, by He in Whose Hand is my soul! They are for men who have faith in Allah and believed in the Messengers.

In a Hadith recorded by Imam Ahmad and the collectors of Sunan, Abu Atiyyah said that Ibn Abu Sa`id said that the Messenger of Allah said,

Residents of Paradise see the residents of the highest grades just as you see the distant planet in the horizon of the sky. Verily, Abu Bakr and Umar are among them (in the highest grades), and how excellent they are.
