The work of God is simply to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ...John 6:28-29. Spiritual work is believing what God says. Faith is spiritual work.
All the work for our salvation has already been done. Jesus paid for our sins on the cross and lived a perfect life so His righteousness could be imputed to us. By trusting this we enter into rest. No longer do we need to strive to acquire peace with God. In Christ, we are already reconciled.


Well, you have been verified to be boasting only in the Christ, well done.

God’s seal beats it all and its found in the Sabbath commandment. His name ( God) Title (Creator) and Territory (Heaven and Earth) Exo 20:11 The Sabbath rest is according to the commandment Luke 23:56, not the way it sounds pleasing to the ears. The Sabbath commandment says we are to rest on the seventh day Exo 20:8-11 just as God did.

It’s like the command not to eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge. Does eat doesn’t really mean eat, no He meant spiritual food, God didn’t really say not to actually eat. We can always spiritualize away anything God commanded, but at the end who are we really following? God said He would not alter His words Psa 89:34 Mat 5:18, seems like a bad idea to do it anyway.
