Rest Now and Later
Commentators explain that the "rest" described here has two dimensions. It is a present spiritual reality for believers who cease from trying to earn salvation through their own works and instead trust in Christ's finished work. It is also a future, complete rest in heaven, free from all earthly toil and struggle. We enter this rest by faith now and will experience its fullness in eternity.
