How do we know Christ is our rest?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ is our rest because He completed the work necessary for our salvation, affirming this with His declaration, 'It is finished.'

The assurance that Christ is our rest is found in His completed work on the cross. When Jesus proclaimed, 'It is finished,' He was signifying that all requirements for salvation had been met; nothing further is needed from us. This truth implies that believers are invited to cease from their own efforts to secure God's favor and instead find satisfaction in Christ alone. The biblical narrative substantiates this by demonstrating that the rest God intended for His people is fulfilled in Jesus, who is the true Sabbath. Consequently, resting in Christ means relying solely on His grace, recognizing that any attempt to add to His work reflects a failure to understand the sufficiency of His sacrifice.
