Hebrews 4:9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. 

On the cross, a great transaction was made. Jesus took condemnation, disease, the curse, and death and gave us righteousness, eternal life, divine health, prosperity, freedom from sin, and dominion. After the exchange took place, Jesus said “It is finished.” There is nothing left to do. Jesus did it all.

So what do we do now? We rest. We remain in a continuous state of rest. Like God rested on the seventh day because He was finished, we rest because Jesus is finished. This may be difficult to our flesh because our flesh always wants to get involved to make something happen. Our flesh may want to pray and read the Bible two hours a day to get God to move on our behalf, or our flesh may want to work three jobs to be financially stable.

Under grace, we don’t have to earn or toil for our blessings from God. Our responsibility is to rest and believe on the finished works of Jesus Christ and know that He’s made everything we need or desire available to us. If we would only rest and believe.
