Hebrews 4:3-11
For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said,“ As I swore in my anger,‘ They will never enter my rest!’” And yet God’s works were accomplished from the foundation of the world.For he has spoken somewhere about the seventh day in this way:“ And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,”but to repeat the text cited earlier:“ They will never enter my rest!”Therefore it remains for some to enter it, yet those to whom it was previously proclaimed did not enter because of disobedience.So God again ordains a certain day,“ Today,” speaking through David after so long a time, as in the words quoted before,“ O, that today you would listen as he speaks! Do not harden your hearts.”For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken afterward about another day.Consequently a Sabbath rest remains for the people of God.For the one who enters God’s rest has also rested from his works, just as God did from his own works.Thus we must make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.

John 14:21-24
The person who has my commandments and obeys them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal myself to him.”“ Lord,” Judas( not Judas Iscariot) said,“ what has happened that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”Jesus replied,“ If anyone loves me, he will obey my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and take up residence with him.The person who does not love me does not obey my words. And the word you hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
