Answered in 3 sources
The Bible states in Hebrews 4:9 that there remains a rest for the people of God, specifically referring to the eternal rest found in Christ.
Hebrews 4:9 declares that 'There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.' This rest is intricately connected with the finished work of Jesus Christ and signifies both a present spiritual rest and an eternal rest in heaven. The Apostle draws a parallel between the Israelites’ journey to the Promised Land and the Christian's spiritual journey. Just as the Israelites sought a physical rest in Canaan, believers look forward to a heavenly rest where they cease from their labors and the burdens of sin. This rest embodies peace and reassurance that believers can find only through faith in Christ, who has completed the work necessary for salvation.
