Subtopic: God’s love brings Rest

*Rest is defined as peace. When we embrace the love of God in our life, we enjoy a life full of
rest. In Matthew 11; 28-29, God promises us a life full of refreshment and rest, simply by joining
our life with His. He will be our confidence in times of crisis and keep our heart at rest in every
situation.*

*Anyone who enters into God’s Rest, also rests from their works.*

*What is God’s Rest and how do we enter into it? *

*God’s rest is a state, or place, where God rules and manages his creation (us), free from the
chaos and disorder brought about by sin. After creation,God established a garden in Eden, he put
a caretaker, Adam. This garden represents God’s rest. And humanity, at the beginning, was at rest
with God. There was no sorrow, no lack, and no struggles, there was abundant provision, and
man lived a life free from oppression.*

*But Adam rebelled against God and was cast from the garden. His rest was over and Mankind
started enjoying sufferings and struggles. God’s Rest was replaced with a world that will require
much effort to survive. A world of disorder and unhappiness.*

*God through his love for us, sent Jesus Christ who died on the cross of Calvary, wiped away our
sin, by erasing the sins of Adam from us and reconciled us back to God’s original intent for us
which is enjoying eternal rest.*
*All we need to enter into this rest, is only to accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, live a life full
of Righteousness by walking in his ways and have faith in him. We will see ourselves enjoying and
living a victorious life free of struggles and sorrow.
