Rest

3 Nephi 27 - 4 Nephi

3 Nephi 27:19
"And no unclean thing can enter into his kingdom; therefore nothing entereth into his rest save it be those who have washed their garments in my blood, because of their faith, and the repentance of all their sins, and their faithfulness unto the end."

I had never really thought much about what the word rest meant in this situation. In my mind it was always the form of rest where we can say, we lived in mortality, which was hard, and now its time for us to take a break. To rest. But upon looking into the many definitions of the word, I found this. It's cool to think that will be trusted.
