How can believers enter into God's rest according to Hebrews?

Answered in 1 source

Believers enter into God's rest by faith in Christ, ceasing their own works as a means of salvation.

According to Hebrews 4, believers are called to enter into God's rest, which is realized through faith in Jesus Christ. The passage emphasizes that resting from works is essential for salvation, illustrating that like God ceased from His work of creation, believers must cease from striving for righteousness through their own efforts. In verse 10, it states that he who has entered His rest has ceased from his own works just as God did from His. This is a declaration of reliance on Christ's completed work rather than one's own attempts at salvation. It encompasses a promise that those who believe in the gospel will find true peace and assurance in their relationship with God.
