The universal experience of humanity is restlessness, searching for meaning. But why is that? In Genesis 2:1-3, we see the purpose we were made for and how rest is achieved in life with God.
The goal of creation
Genesis 2:1-3
The Seventh Day, God Rests
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. 3 So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation.
