How do we know Christ's promise of rest is true?

Answered in 1 source

We know Christ's promise is true because He possesses the power, willingness, and faithfulness to fulfill it.

The promise of rest made by Christ is founded upon His unique authority and capabilities. First, Jesus has the power to give rest, as affirmed in Scriptures such as John 17:2, which depicts His dominion over all creation. Secondly, His willingness to provide rest is evident in His mission; He came to seek and save the lost, demonstrating His desire to save sinners and grant them the peace they so desperately need. Lastly, His faithfulness is assured; as God who cannot lie, He guarantees that what He promises, He will accomplish. These three characteristics—power, willingness, and faithfulness—create a solid foundation upon which believers can rest assured that Christ's promises will come to fruition.
