How do we know God's love is our resting place?

Answered in 1 source

God's love, revealed through Christ, serves as the ultimate resting place for believers, providing comfort and assurance.

The concept of resting in God's love is essential in the Christian life. J.C. Philpot emphasizes that God 'rests in his love' and it is in this divine love that believers find their true resting place. When we consider God's satisfaction and delight in His Son, Jesus, it conveys that any resting apart from God's love would be inadequate. The assurance of salvation and security in Christ's work fosters a deep-seated peace and comfort that we can rely upon as we journey through life.

Moreover, it is God's love that empowers believers to press on in faith. Each manifestation of God's love helps renew our strength for the journey ahead. When believers reflect on God's care and the evidence of His love in their lives, they are encouraged to continue onward, supported by the knowledge that they are loved and accepted in Christ. Thus, our resting place is genuinely found only in the experience of His love, which sustains and nurtures us.
