E NTERING INTO G OD ’ S S ABBATH R EST

“Let them learn to trust His love and to cast on Him their cares.” Christ’s Object Lessons 57.2. Every Christian, with persistent diligence, must co-work with Christ in training the mind to react correctly when troubles come. This is laboring to enter into God’s rest. As well as fre quently rehearsing the ways in which God has delivered us in the past, this also involves a thorough knowledge of the Old and New Testament stories, which set forth the victories and failures of God’s people in times gone by. Then when temptation comes upon us, the remembrance of these events will serve to guide us and strengthen our faith in our mighty Deliverer.
