How do we know Christ provides true rest?

Christ's promise to give rest is explicitly stated in Matthew 11:28, where He invites those who labor and are burdened to come to Him. This rest is not merely a cessation from work but a profound peace and restoration that comes through reconciliation with God. Hebrews 4:9-10 speaks of a rest that remains for God’s people, indicating that those who enter into His rest cease from their own works, relying fully on Christ's completed work for salvation. Such assurance is central to sovereign grace theology, affirming that all who are called to faith will find true rest in Him.
