How can one truly rest in Christ according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Resting in Christ means ceasing from our own works and trusting in His finished work for salvation (Hebrews 4:10).

Resting in Christ is a profound spiritual reality that involves ceasing from one's own efforts to attain righteousness and instead relying solely on the work that Christ accomplished on the cross. Hebrews 4:10 states, 'For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.' This verse emphasizes that just as God rested from His works at creation, believers are called to rest in the finished work of Christ for their salvation. This rest is characterized by faith in Christ alone, abandoning any pursuit of self-justification through the law. In doing so, believers find true peace and assurance, as they are accepted in Him, free from the burden of trying to earn their way to God.
