What does spiritual rest look like according to the Bible?
Answered in 1 source
Spiritual rest involves finding peace and renewal in God's presence and His Word.
Spiritual rest is characterized by a deep sense of peace and renewal gained through communion with God. In Matthew 11:29, Jesus speaks of taking His yoke upon us and learning from Him, which implies a lifestyle that invites divine tranquility into our daily lives. As believers step aside, as Jesus called His apostles to do in Mark 6:31-32, they can engage in spiritual practices such as prayer, worship, and reading Scripture, enabling them to experience a rejuvenated spirit and a clearer perspective amidst life's challenges. This rest emphasizes the inward assurance and solace that comes from knowing Christ and being attuned to His will.
