How do we know the concept of heavenly rest is true?

Answered in 1 source

The truth of heavenly rest is affirmed in Scripture, particularly in Hebrews and Revelation, which testify to the future hope of believers.

The assurance of heavenly rest is rooted in the promises found in Scripture, such as Hebrews 4:9 which states that there remains a rest for the people of God. This concept is richly developed through the typology found in the Old Testament, where Canaan is a type of the rest that is fully realized in Heaven. Revelation 21 confirms this by portraying a new heaven and earth where God dwells among His people, thus validating the believer's hope in an eternal, restful communion with God.
