How do we know that believers enter into God's rest?

Answered in 1 source

Believers enter into God's rest through faith, as indicated in Hebrews 4:3, which states that only those who believe will enter the rest promised by God.

Hebrews 4:3 states, 'For we which have believed do enter into rest.' This verse emphasizes that the entry into God's rest is granted through faith. The context of the passage suggests a direct correlation between belief and the enjoyment of God's promised rest. This pattern is reinforced by the negative example of the Israelites who failed to enter due to unbelief, as stated in Hebrews 3:19. Thus, the promise of spiritual rest remains for those who truly embrace the Gospel and trust in Christ, assuring them of their future inheritance and peace, which is elaborated upon in the following verses of Hebrews 4.
