How do we know that the promise of rest in Christ is true?

Answered in 1 source

The promise of rest in Christ is affirmed through God's unchanging character and His faithful fulfillment of promises throughout Scripture.

The promise of rest in Christ is deeply rooted in the faithfulness of God, who has demonstrated His unchanging nature throughout Scripture. Hebrews 4 teaches that this rest remains for the people of God because it is not contingent upon our actions but upon God's promises. The author draws parallels to Israel's failure to enter into God's rest due to unbelief, emphasizing that believers today must not fall into the same trap. We can have confidence in this promise because God is faithful to fulfill His Word and provide rest for those who believe in Christ. This is echoed in John 10:16, where Jesus states that all His sheep will be brought into His fold, assuring us that the gates of rest are open to all who trust in Him.
