Hebrews 4:9
“So then there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.”
John 15:4
“Abide in Me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.”
The good land is not merely a physical location but a spiritual reality. As believers, we have entered into this land through faith and now live in it by abiding in Christ. Abiding in Christ is the way to experience the reality of the good land.
When we abide in Him, we enjoy His life as our sustenance, supply, and rest. This rest is not inactivity but the satisfaction of living in the flow of the Spirit, free from striving in our natural strength. The good land is filled with the unsearchable riches of Christ, and as we remain in Him, we partake of these riches moment by moment.
Abiding in Christ also brings forth fruit, demonstrating that we are living in the reality of the land. This fruit is for the satisfaction of God, others, and ourselves, testifying that we are dwelling in the abundance of Christ.
