Re: Sword at the entrance
Hebrews 4 falls on the heels of Hebrews 3 where we read all of Israel did not enter Canaan. And 4 begins saying we can fall as well, and the problem is failure to mix the word with faith. So, when we then read we must labour to enter the rest, the labour is the mixing of the word with faith. And the reason we are given word to encourage us to labour this mixture of the word with faith is found to be the word of God. The word of God can be relied upon since it is more alive than any sword and cuts out the very unbelief that keeps us out of the rest.
