How do we know that Christians are called to rest in Christ?

In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus invites those who labor and are heavy laden to come to Him for rest. This invitation emphasizes that believers should rely on Christ during times of trouble. The Apostle Paul, who faced significant troubles himself, writes that he learned to be content in all circumstances through Christ's strength (Philippians 4:11-13). This rest is not a passive escape but an active trust in God's sovereignty and goodness, enabling Christians to endure tribulations while being grounded in the hope of eternal life.
