What does it mean to have rest in Christ?

Answered in 2 sources

Having rest in Christ means ceasing from our works and trusting in His finished work for salvation and sanctification.

Rest in Christ is a profound theological concept that encompasses both freedom from legalistic striving and the assurance of salvation. It signifies that through Christ's sacrifice, believers are released from the burden of trying to fulfill the law, as He has already accomplished what we could not do. In Hebrews 4, the rest of God is described as entering into a relationship with Him where we no longer depend on our efforts but rely on His completed work. This rest fosters peace and security in our identity as justified children of God, liberated from the condemnation of sin and empowered to live in His grace. True worship flows from this rest, as we acknowledge His sovereignty and sufficiency in all aspects of our lives.
