"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. For we who have believed enter that rest, just as he had said, 'As I swore in my wrath, they shall not enter my rest', although his works were finished from the foundation of the world." If God's works were finished from the foundation of the world, who are we to think that we can bring about what is? This is why God reminds us that rest comes by faith.
