Biblical rest is possible because we do not need to act to save the world or to justify ourselves. Because a loving God created and preserves the world, because He has promised good to all those who love Him, we don’t have to be busy. We don’t have to feel guilty for not being productive all the time, or for not using our leisure in the most effective way. Rest without anxiety or fear of falling behind or missing out is not only possible for us because we are not our own. It is required of us. Biblical rest is leisurely.
