How do we know that gospel rest is available to believers?

Answered in 1 source

Gospel rest is available to believers because it is grounded in Christ's finished work and the promises made in Scripture.

Biblical assurance of gospel rest comes primarily from the finished work of Christ and the promises contained in Scripture. In Hebrews 4, the contrast is drawn between those who entered the Promised Land under Joshua and the rest that Christ offers through faith. The author states, "There remains a rest for the people of God" (Hebrews 4:9), indicating that this is a spiritual rest and not merely a physical Canaan. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus invites all who labor and are heavy laden to come to Him for rest, exhibiting His role as the one who provides true spiritual peace. This rest is realized by believing and entering into fellowship with Him, thus affirming the reality and availability of gospel rest for today's believers.
