The rest referred to in Hebrews 4 is rest from our toils here on earth that we will receive once we’re in Heaven.
There are two rests referred to in Hebrews. Christ rest and the Sabbath rest. In Christ rest, there is no rebellion to Him meaning we would be keeping His commandments, not breaking them which is what Hebrews 4 is warning us about. We should not follow the example of the Israelites who profaned God's Sabbath in the wilderness Eze 20:13, Eze 20:21
Hebrews 4:6 Since therefore it remains that some
must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience
Hebrews 4:11 Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience
Which is why there is a daily plea daily to not be in rebellion to the Holy Spirit who calls us daily...if we hear His voice. God does not want us to be in rebellion because He wants us to rest in Him and we do that through obedience. Isaiah 48:18
Hebrews 4:7 again He designates a certain day, saying in David, “Today,” after such a long time, as it has been said:
“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts.”
Hebrews 3:7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:
“Today, if you will hear His voice,
8 Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
In the day of trial in the wilderness
Psalms 95:7 For He
is our God,
And we
are the people of His pasture,
And the sheep of His hand.
Today, if you will hear His voice:
8 “Do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion,
As
in the day of trial in the wilderness,
Your free to follow the same path as the Israelites who disobeyed God and profaned His Sabbath, but its not wise to expect a different result, when this very passage warns us about that.
Hebrews 4:11 Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, l
est anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.
Which is why Sabbath-keeping
remains for the people of God Heb 4:9 NIV, because they hear His voice and follow His example like we are told to. 1 John 2:6
That’s why God determines who will or will not enter into that rest.
Yes, but He warns us a head of time because He loves all of us and tells us how to enter into His rest
Hebrews 4:9 NIV There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest
also rests from their works, just as God did from his.- On the seventh day
Hebrews 4:4 For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.”
The commandments we’re supposed to keep are love God with all your heart soul and mind and love others. All of the commandments are based on these two commandments. I’ve already given examples of the law that have been done away with yesterday and you didn’t comment on them.
Yes, we keep the commandments of God because of love, but God does not undefine what love is according to scripture.
1 John 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. 3
For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome
The Sabbath is a commandment of God and His people keep His commandments through love and faith. Romans 3:31, Rev 14:12, 1 John 5:3
