‘Paul’s Praise Of The Corinthian Church.’
This Church had done so well to adapt to Truth above and different from their cultural norm. It was a wonderful work of Grace in the Corinthian Church.
1 Corinthians 11:2.
a) Apostle Paul praised this Church even though they had many difficulties and problems.
b) They remembered all the things that Paul had told them.
c) They held fast to basic Biblical Traditions.
d) They followed specifically the Way that Paul passed on to them.

‘Be Diligent To Enter Our Rest.’
Hebrews 4:1-11.

c) Hebrews 4:3. To enter God’s Rest for us we have to Trust Him.
d) Hebrews 4:4. God Himself rested on the seventh day after Creation was completed.
e) Hebrews 4:5. There are some hearers who will not enter.

i) Hebrews 4:10. Let us enter God’s rest for us and cease from trying to do our own religious works.

Chris.
Disobedience robs us of the Blessing and Promises of God. It does not matter how “spiritual” we may seem to be, or how busy we are with “doing something” for Church or God. If we are in disobedience we miss it. Let us be a people submitted to God and His Word and who obey Him.
