Spiritual - Rest

Bible Questions Answered:
“...I feel so upset, so agitated,...”
Garry/ Moscow, Russia

Bible Answer:

Bible Texts:

Many flee to the islands, mountains or major cities of renown, but come home not rested, but rather more flustered, then when they left.

Psalm 55:6 KJV
And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.

Rest for the body, should not be confused with rest for the soul.
Well did Augustine say...

“Our hearts are restless, until they can find rest in you.”
Augustine of Hippo 354–430, "Confessions".

Spiritual Rest:

May be missed by unyielding or stubbornness.

Isaiah 28:12 KJV
To whom He said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.

Jeremiah 6:16 KJV
Thus saith The Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

No rest, for the wicked.

Isaiah 57:20,21 KJV
20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
21 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

Hebrews 3:10,11,18,19 KJV
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known My ways.
11 So I sware in My wrath, They shall not enter into My rest.)
18 And to whom sware He that they should not enter into His rest, but to them that believed not?
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Revelation 14:11 KJV
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

No Spiritual Rest, For The Self-Righteous:

Romans 3:10,20-24 KJV
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in His sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Romans 4:4,5 NLT
4 When people work, their wages are not a gift, but something they have earned.
5 But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners.

Romans 5:1 KJV
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

Romans 11:6 KJV
And since it is through God’s kindness, then it is not by their good works. For in that case, God’s grace would not be what it really is—free and undeserved.

Galatians 2:16 KJV
Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law.”

Ephesians 2:8,9 KJV
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is
The Gift Of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Titus 3:5-7 KJV
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of The Holy Ghost;
6 Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior;
7 That being justified by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Spiritual rest comes by having faith in the “finished” work of The Lord Jesus Christ.

Spiritual Rest:

Exodus 33:14 KJV
And He said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.

Psalm 116:7 KJV
Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for The Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.

Matthew 11:28-30 KJV
28 Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.

Received by faith.

Hebrews 4:3 NLT
3 For only we who believe can enter His rest. As for the others, God said, “In My anger I took an oath: ‘They will never enter My place of rest,’” even though this rest has been ready since He made the world.
9 So there is a special rest still waiting for the people of God.

Future, heavenly rest.

Revelation 14:13 KJV
And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in The Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith The Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them.

Psalm 29:11 KJV
The Lord will give strength unto His people; The Lord will bless His people with peace.

John 14:27 KJV
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

John 3:16-18 KJV
16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of The Only Begotten Son Of God.

Acts 2:21 KJV
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of The Lord shall be saved.
