So are we in rest or are we striving to get there? Yes. Both are true at the same time. To live is Christ understands and embraces this paradox. The paradox of the finished yet ongoing work of Christ in us. The paradox of striving to rest. The paradox of a faith that saved you and is saving you. So do not harden your heart. Do not resist the grace of rest. Stop striving to earn your salvation and start striving to trust in a salvation that has already been earned.
This rest for our souls is only possible in Christ. Only when he is enough. Only when he has finished the work. Only when his heart of gentleness and compassion satisfy your deepest longings. Only when his accomplishments are enough for you. Only when his record is all you are relying upon. Only when “to live is Christ.”
