Faith-rest

1. True rest in soul and spirit is found only in the presence of God (EXO 33:14; PSA 116:7).
2. Rest cannot be found in escaping from our problems. Even David would have liked to have flown away (PSA 55:6), but there comes a time when we must face our problems and stand on our own, a time when we cannot lean on anyone else but God.
3. Outside of faith there will always be chaos; spiritual rest is unattainable to those who will not believe (ISA 28:12; ISA 30:15; ISA 57:20-21; MAT 11:28-29).
4. God has provided in His Word a solution for every problem we will ever face; we enter His rest when we believe His Word (HEB 4:1-3).
5. Jesus invites the world to find rest in Him—the rest of salvation (MAT 11:28) and the rest of spiritual growth (MAT 11:29).
6. The rest God gives is eternal in nature (REV 14:12-13).
7. For all who reject Jesus Christ there is eternal unrest (REV 4:11).
