Entering rest means the revelation of grace to a believer: understanding we cannot save ourselves through works of the Law.  Only through faith in Christ and revelation from above can we understand this and enter grace.  Many believers who love Jesus have not yet been perfected in their walk to reach this understanding, but if we endure patiently and remain steadfast in our faith, it will happen.  Meanwhile, you are still counted as a child of God and greatly beloved.  

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matt 11:28-30)

"For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His." (Heb 4:10)

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." (Eph 2:8-10)
