How can believing in Christ bring rest to our souls?

Answered in 1 source

Believing in Christ grants us rest, freeing us from the burdens of trying to earn salvation through works.

Christ teaches that the true rest for our souls is found in faith alone. In Matthew 11:28-30, He invites all who are weary and burdened to come to Him for rest. This rest is fundamentally different from the burdens of the law, as it stems from trusting in Christ's finished work on the cross, which satisfies all requirements for righteousness. Just as the Israelites were commanded to rest on the Sabbath after gathering the double portion of manna, believers are encouraged to rest in Christ’s completed work. This rest increases as we rely fully on Him for salvation and sanctification, allowing us to cease from our attempts to earn God's favor through our efforts.
