Why do some people not enter God's rest?

Answered in 1 source

Some people do not enter God's rest due to unbelief and a hardened heart, as demonstrated by the Israelites in the wilderness.

Hebrews 3 warns believers to take heed lest there be an evil heart of unbelief leading to departure from the living God. The Israelites, despite witnessing God's miracles and provision, hardened their hearts, resulting in their inability to enter the promised rest. This historical example serves as a serious warning; those who do not hold fast to their faith in Christ may find themselves in a similar predicament of spiritual stagnation and disbelief. The text emphasizes that true faith is demonstrated by perseverance, and failing to continue in faith shows a lack of genuine belief, leading ultimately to exclusion from rest.
