Bible verses about "rest" | Riverside

Hebrews 4:1-11

1 LET us, then, be afraid that, though the promise of entering his rest is still left, some one of you may seem to have missed it. 2 For we have received the good news just as they did, but the message that was heard did not benefit them, since it did not meet with faith in the hearers. 3 For we who have faith are entering into the rest, as he said, "As I swore in my wrath, 'They shall not enter into my rest,' " although his works had been finished since the creation of the world. 4 For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day thus, "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works," 5 and in this place again, "They shall not enter into my rest." 6 Since, then, it remains for some to enter into it, and those who first received the good news did not enter because of lack of faith — 7 again he indicates a day, "to-day," saying in David so long after, as has been already quoted, "To-day if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts." 8 For if Joshua had given them rest he would not be speaking of another day after that. 9 Therefore there still remains a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered into God's rest has rested from his works as God did from his. 11 Let us endeavor then to enter into that rest so that no one shall fall, after that example of lack of faith.

Matthew 11:29

29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your souls.

Mark 6:31

31 He said to them, "Come away alone into some solitary place and rest a little." For there were many people coming and going, and they had no time even to eat.

Matthew 11:28-30

28 "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
