Read: Hebrews 4:1-10

“Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. ….⁹ There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. ¹⁰ For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.”

The English dictionary defines rest as follows:

1. To cease from work or movement, to relax, sleep, or recover strength, be placed or supported so as to stay in a specified position;
2. To be free from whatever worries or anything that disturbs you;
3. To lie down, to be settled or to be fixed;
4. To remain confident, to put your trust in something, in other words, you rest in something in the sense of confidence;
5. To lean on something.

Surprisingly, God’s kind of rest not only means all these five things but much more spiritually as well physically. Divine rest means a relationship with God in which you are trusting and relying on the finished work of Christ, and not on your own efforts or on yourself.
