Did not Paul say, "Do not fall short of Christ's promise
by not obeying God's Sabbath rest?
Christ's gospel was preached to both the Jews and Gentiles,
but some lacked faith and failed our Lord's test.

"Those of us who believe do obey God's fourth Law,
who first spoke it in Genesis Two,
making holy the seventh day for all to rest;
then, Psalm Ninety-Five speaks His wrath true.

"Those who do not obey will reap God's deadly ire;
judged as unbelievers, they will pay.
Father set a specific time of rest for all,
and His Son spoke of no other day.

"Hence, the seventh one is for a righteous people:
a break from their work, just as God rests,
not one setting an example of unbelief.
So, desire to pass these easy tests.

"God discerns thoughts and hearts and judges compliance.
Let your faith witness be true and strong,
that you may come boldly before the throne of grace
to obtain mercy for all past wrongs.

"God is quick to command, His Word as powerful,
like a two-edged sword but much sharper.
Know that He can slay both your body and spirit:
trust, obey, and be not a carper."

Have you not heard or even been taught this Truth's part
that confirms the everlasting deal?
The contract is not complete nor can be applied
'Til you demostrate His Holy seal.

A poetic rendering of Hebrews c.4, AKJV* Do you not know this is God's and Christ's Holy Seal spoken of in Revelation?

*NOTE: in other Bible versions v.8 names a prophet instead of Jesus, and in some the word 'seventh' has been twice deleted in v.4— such changes and deletions distort God's  truth. See also: Exodus 20:8-11; Ezekiel 20:12,19-20; Luke 4:14-16; Acts 13:42,44; 17:2; Romans 3:23-25
