What is faith-rest and how is it attained?
True rest in soul and spirit is found only in the presence of God. This spiritual rest is unattainable to those who will not believe, as chaos always exists outside of faith. We enter God's rest when we believe His Word, which provides a solution for every problem we face. Jesus invites the world to find both the rest of salvation and the rest of spiritual growth in Him. While the rest God gives is eternal in nature, those who reject Jesus Christ face eternal unrest.
Also asked: What does it mean to experience eternal rest, and how can I live in it now?
