How do we know that Jesus gives us spiritual rest?

The assurance of spiritual rest from Jesus stems from His promise in Matthew 11:28. The involvement of our Savior as a mediator who provides grace makes this promise credible and dependable. He invites those who feel burdened by their sin—those who have labored under the weight of trying to earn righteousness—to lay their burdens at His feet and receive rest. This rest encompasses not just the initial salvation but ongoing peace and assurance that believers can experience daily. Ultimately, the effectiveness of this rest is seen in the transformative power of God's grace that works continually in the lives of His children.
