Why do believers feel restless in the world?

Answered in 1 source

Believers feel restless because their true peace and satisfaction are only found in Christ, and the world cannot provide what their new nature seeks.

Believers experience restlessness in the world because, by nature, they are created anew in Christ. As the Dove could find no rest outside the ark, Christians similarly find that the sinful and decaying nature of this world repulses them. Their new nature yearns for the holiness and nourishment found only in Christ and His church. This internal struggle highlights the truth that, although believers may still feel the temptations and allurements of the world, they recognize that true contentment, rest, and belonging is found in returning continually to their Savior.
