Entering God's rest is affirmed by the promises of scripture, which assure believers that they can find peace and assurance in Christ.
God's invitation to enter His rest is seen in scripture, particularly in Hebrews 4:1-3, which declares that the promise of entering that rest still stands. Believers are encouraged to trust in Christ as their source of true rest. The historical rebellion of the Israelites serves as a cautionary tale, showing the consequences of unbelief. In contrast, the call to faith that the New Testament provides assures believers that those who genuinely trust in Jesus will enter this promised rest. This is further solidified through the testimony of the Holy Spirit and the transforming power of the Gospel in the lives of believers, marking a definitive path to eternal rest.
