| Summary | "The Saint's Everlasting Rest" by Richard Baxter is a theological treatise written in the late 17th century. The work focuses on the blessed state of the saints as they enjoy communion with God in heaven. It addresses the concept of eternal rest and emphasizes the importance of seeking a relationship with God in preparation for the afterlife. The opening of the treatise introduces the topic of spiritual rest, as defined by the author, who discusses its nature, significance, and the ultimate joys of heavenly existence. Baxter emphasizes the necessity for believers to recognize their distance from this rest and to strive diligently toward it. In this section, he lays a foundational understanding for his readers about the importance of a life focused on godliness and the pursuit of heavenly contemplation, which serves as a preparation for the eternal joy that awaits in the presence of God.
