“For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.”
Now we who have believed enter that rest, as God has said, 'So I declared on oath in my anger, 'They shall never enter my rest.'' Yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world — the dialectic of rest is introduced: God's rest has existed since creation, indicating that rest is not a future achievement but a present reality that believers enter through faith. Believers join a finished reality rather than struggle toward an unfinished goal.
