Entering God’s future rest requires unremitting labor and effort

Evidence

Scripture tells us this second type of “rest” does not come easily and that we must work hard for it, labor to achieve it, and strive to enter into it. It entails unremitting toil and continued effort in order to achieve it (Colossians 1:23). The difficulties encountered in order to inherit the Millennial Kingdom permeates the book of Hebrews. — Chuck Missler, The Kingdom, Power and Glory, 1494
