In returning to our Heavenly Father Yahveh through His Son Jesus Christ in "confidence" (faith), is The True Rest (Sabbath), for He is That Eternal Rest which cannot be shaken
Matt.11:27-30; Ps.116:6-9; Isaiah 28:12-13; Thess.1:7-8; Read All. Heb.3 & 4; Heb.12:26-29.
Isaiah 11:10; And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, (Jesus) which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the gentile seek: and His rest shall be glorious.
Jer.6:16; 2 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."
"Well, how do we return to The Father, and receive that 'confidence' in Him?" The answer is, by staying in His Word of Truth.
2 Timothy 2:15. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Christ also is The Word; His Word is our Rest for this flesh time, and evermore. Why is that for today also? Because through disciplined study in His Word we learn His Will for us, and are taught what the future will bring, and how to prepare for it. Listening to His Word does not 'only' prepare us to believe on The Father through His Son's crucifixion on the cross. Believers are also offered The Knowledge of Christ so as to prepare to make a stand for Him, having His Rest in us through faith. Eph.6: Read All.
No man can prepare a believer to make that stand of giving a Testimony of Jesus Christ.
Rev.12:17: And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Rev.19:10: And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, “See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
Only our Lord by the Holy Spirit can do that.
Want an example of how His Word by His Spirit does that, preparing in "confidence" and "quietness"?
