How do we know the importance of rest in Christianity?

Answered in 1 source

Rest, particularly the Sabbath, illustrates God's design for spiritual refreshment and reflects Christ's finished work.

The concept of rest is deeply rooted in Scripture, emanating from God's resting on the seventh day after creation. This rest is further acknowledged in the Mosaic Law, emphasizing a day dedicated to God. In Hebrews 4, this rest takes on a spiritual dimension, symbolizing the rest that believers find in Christ following His completed work of atonement. The Sabbath is not merely a Jewish tradition; it is a divine ordinance intended to remind believers of their need for both physical and spiritual rest, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus, who invites us to find rest in Him.
