His way, His rest

"That is why I was angry with that generation, and I said, 'Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.' So I declared on oath in my anger, "They shall never enter my rest.'" (Heb 3:10-11)

In the old covenant, God's ways were to do what is right by keeping His statutes and commandments (the law). (1Ki 11:38) Now in the new covenant, Christ has fulfilled the law (Mat 5:17) and Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. (Rom 10:4) and He said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (Joh 14:6) Now therefore Christ is the way, the only way for us to enter into His rest. Hear Him!
