Hebrews 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from his. The writer makes a distinction between soul and spirit in ver. 12. Your soul is you, the part that thinks, wills, reasons, loves, forms plans, purposes, the age, the I life. Beyond that, deeper, deeper down, is the spirit, the part that holds fellowship with God. God consciousness. Good people, converted people, regenerated people, live too much from the soul centre, self-consciousness, and in proportion to our doing this we lose God's rest. As "I" comes in, rest goes out and restlessness enters. (F. B. Meyer, B. A.)
