How can believers serve God after resting in Christ?

While we rest in Christ for our salvation, this does not imply inactivity. Our service arises from the rest we have in Him, as stated in Hebrews 4:10, where entering God's rest means stopping our own works. Once we rest in Christ’s sufficiency and His accomplished redemption, we are enabled to serve Him rightly. Our good works are not a means to earn favor with God but rather a response to His grace, and God equips us to do that service. Ephesians 2:10 emphasizes that we are created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand. Thus, all genuine service flows from the assurance and peace we find in resting in Him.
