Make every effort to enter that rest
by Norman Grubb

"Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest"
–Hebrews 4:11 
Faith is not looking for a future revelation; it is realizing a present fact. Faith slips from its moorings when it listens to another’s experiences and then says to itself: "I suppose God must come to me like that." Usually God comes in the way and at the time that we least expect, so that we know that it is God and not something worked up by our own efforts or imagination. To some, it may be just a gradual settling realization that these things are so; to another, a great and sudden inward assurance; to yet another there may be the accompaniment of an outward manifestation by dream, by vision, by some sign of the Spirit, as in Bible days. 
So, in the spiritual fight of faith, the moment or period comes when we know. Every vestige of strain and labor has gone. Indeed, faith, as such, is not felt or recognized any more. The channel is lost sight of in the abundance of the supply. As we came to know that we were children of God by an inner certainty, a witness of the Spirit in our spirits, so now we come to know that the old "I" is crucified with Christ, the new "I" has Christ as its permanent life; spirit with Spirit have been fused into one, the branch grafted into the vine, the member joined to the body–and the problem of abiding becomes as natural as breathing. 
–The Law of Faith

Statement of Faith

The purpose of Zerubbabel Press is to further the great high calling of the Lord Jesus to carry His Gospel to the whole world. This calling is known in the Christian world as the Great Commission. Our interpretation of the Gospel is that Jesus Christ was the second member of the Trinity, fully God, made manifest in the flesh. He was tempted in all points as we are, but totally without sin. He was crucified for the sins of the world, was buried, and rose from the dead on the third day, according to the Scriptures. He gives the power to become the sons of God to all who receive Him.
