Conditions of REST

Conditions are stipulations that must be met, commands I must obey, or requirements to obtain the blessings and rewards I seek.

Now, this is not to say that God always has stipulations or things I must do before I can be blessed.

I’m only saying that according to Matthew 11:28-29, there are several conditions that must be met to enjoy and receive the blessings and rewards of REST.

• Come to Christ – You cannot receive true REST unless you come to Christ and give Him your concerns, anxieties, cares and heavy burdens.

• Accept His Yoke – This involves being “born again” and receiving LIFE into your spirit. To accept Christ’s yoke you must bond and join with Him by accepting His free gift of salvation. Have you come to a place in your life where you’ve placed your trust, once and for all, in the work of Christ on the cross to pay for your sins; and have joined with Him and received new eternal life in your spirit? If not, now is the time.

• Let Christ Teach You – He promises to show you how to rest effortlessly and lightly—no more forced labor or self-efforts to try to get REST your own way—just the unforced rhythms of Christ’s grace. That’s all you will need. There’s really not much you have to do…only learn from Him and follow His ways instead of your own.
