This expression of Heb. iv, 1, is made with reference to Ps. xcv. When the Holy Spirit there makes mention of another day in which we may seek God if we do not harden our hearts, he adds concerning those that rebelled in the wilderness: “Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.” Ps. xcv, 11. The exclusion of those that did not believe, implies, 1. That the purpose of God remained unaccomplished in the number of heirs of glory. 2. That those who should truly believe and obey may enter therein.
