A Place of Rest...

Scriptures:
Hebrews 4
The Hebrews 
passage speaks of the place of rest God has prepared for those who believe Him. 
"... There is a special rest still waiting for the people of God. For all who enter into Gods rest will find rest from their labors..."  (Heb 4:9-10)

This passage is speaking of life after death. The aim, the goal of our lives should be to one day see God, to be acknowledged by Him for our obedience to His Word. In this place of rest, there will be no sorrow and no laboring. 
However, the flip side is some people will fail to enter this place of rest due to their unbelief  "for only we who believe can enter His place of rest". (Heb 4:3) 

Do you sometimes worry about the level of spirituality needed to attain this glorious rest?

Worry not because " that is why we have a great High Priest who has gone to heaven, Jesus the son of God. Let us cling to Him and never stop trusting Him. This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for He faced all the same temptations we do, yet He never sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy and will find grace to help us when we need it." (Heb 4:14-16)
