Therefore I swore in my wrath, "They won`t enter into my rest." Psalm 96

Verse Takeaways

1

A Warning Against Unbelief

Commentators unanimously identify this verse as God's solemn oath, born of righteous anger, to bar the unbelieving generation of Israelites from the Promised Land. Their exclusion from Canaan due to a hardened heart serves as a powerful and timeless warning for all believers. As Matthew Henry notes, 'The sins of others ought to be warnings to us not to tread in their steps.'
