How do we know that Jesus provides true rest?

The assurance of finding rest in Jesus is supported by the work He accomplished during His earthly ministry. Hebrews 4:9-10 states, 'There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.' This emphasizes that through Christ's finished work, believers can cease from striving to earn God's favor and instead rest in His grace. Jesus' declaration of 'It is finished' (John 17:4) signifies that He has completed the necessary work for our salvation, allowing us to rest in His sufficiency.
