What does the Bible say about rest for our souls?

In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus invites those who are weary and heavy laden to come to Him for rest. This rest is not a physical rest but a spiritual respite that allows believers to cease from striving for righteousness through their own works. Instead, they find comfort in Christ's completed work of salvation. The rest He provides is linked to justification and peace with God, stemming from being freely justified by His sovereign grace. Through Him, we experience true rest, free from the burdens of the law and the weight of sin.
