What does the Bible say about our rest in this world?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that this world is not our rest, as it is polluted and leads to destruction (Micah 2:10).

In Micah 2:10, we are instructed to 'arise ye and depart; for this is not your rest; it is polluted.' This highlights that the current world is temporary and filled with corruption, ultimately leading to destruction. As believers in Christ, we are reminded that our true rest is found in Him and in the eternal life to come, as indicated in Hebrews 4:9-10, which states, 'There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.' Thus, we should not seek fulfillment in the things of this world, as they are fleeting and impure, but instead look forward to the everlasting rest promised in the presence of God.
