What does it mean to be restless in our faith?

Answered in 1 source

Being restless in faith refers to relying on personal efforts or righteousness instead of fully trusting in Christ.

Restlessness in faith stems from an individual's attempt to attain righteousness through their actions rather than relying on Christ's completed work. The sermon stresses that many are unaware they are restless; they might feel secure because of their religious observances or moral living. However, this self-reliance breeds insecurity, as it creates a false narrative of righteousness. When individuals do not cease from their works, they are, in essence, claiming that their actions contribute to their justification, which is contrary to Scripture. True peace and assurance are found only in trusting Christ fully and not in ourselves.
