To Believe Is To Rest

Summary

The sermon emphasizes that true rest comes through belief in God's power and grace, using the story of the Israelites in Numbers 14 as a key example. Their unbelief caused them to miss the promised land and a lifetime of rest, a lesson reiterated in Psalm 95 and Hebrews 3-4. The preacher highlights that while God's grace secures salvation, ongoing belief brings peace and rest in this life. Belief is portrayed as a continuous, daily commitment that leads to spiritual rest and freedom from fear and turmoil.
