V. 11.— Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief
This is the practical improvement of what had gone before, believers are exhorted to labour to enter into that rest which remaineth for the people of God, lest any should fall after the same example of unbelief— viz., of the generation of Israel which fell in the wilderness. They could not enter into God’ s rest because of unbelief, and thus the Apostle illustrates and enforces the exhortation previously given to the Hebrews, to give the more earnest heed to the things which they had heard lest at any time they should let them slip.
