Anything we do is through Christ. For with out Him we can do nothing. Through Him all things are possible.
The Word of GOD says, For he that is entered into his rest (the Gospel), he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
(Heb 4:10)
As GOD did from HIS is a direct comparison. GOD did not enter into some Spiritual rest, He is always in a state of Spiritual rest. GOD rested from work; so we rest from work as HE did and is noted in the 4th Commandment for our edification.

If one is dead they are not experiencing the Gospel.
We are risen with Him and live by the Faith of the Son of GOD. A new creation that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit (by the Faith of the Son of GOD).
And the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ (the word; the law) down from above: ) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ (the word; the law) again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
For Christ (the word; the Law in our hearts and mouths) is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
(Rom 8:4; 10:6-8, 4)

The Word of GOD says, For he that is entered into his rest (the Gospel), he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
(Heb 4:10)
As GOD did from HIS is a direct comparison. GOD did not enter into some Spiritual rest (the Gospel), He is always in a state of Spiritual rest. GOD rested from work; so we rest from work as HE did. Two distinct things are being mentioned. The rest available to us to enter (the Gospel) and ceasing of own work as GOD did. Those who are experiencing the Gospel also cease from their own work like GOD did from HIS.
This brings us back to verse four
For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. And in this place again (HE Speaks), If they shall enter into my rest (experience the Gospel).
(Heb 4:4-5)

There is no conditional word in this text.
You're adding it. That's just the facts.
In fact, the word in verse 2 is one single word "I will make" - no if, no then, not even a conjunction 'and' literally, in the original text.
It's a promise, and Romans 4 clearly explains it is not a promise made on the basis of any work.

it's the writer of the Gospel of John that makes the statement. he is the one saying it, not the Jews
But Jesus defended himself. “My Father is working straight through, even on the Sabbath. So am I.”
18 That really set them off. The Jews were now not only out to expose him; they were out to kill him. Not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was calling God his own Father, putting himself on a level with God.

The Word; the Law; HIS Christ has been placed in our hearts and minds. As the Body of Christ the Temple of GOD it is HE that works in us both to will and do HIS good pleasure not us.
Aleister Crowley said, 'do thine own will'. As Christians we pray through the Spirit, "let thy will be done"
So No it is not subject to one's own reasoning, we are a new creature in Christ Jesus.

No. Part of the 4th Commandment was to keep it Holy. That we can only do through Christ. Christ is our Rest. Because we have entered into our rest (Christ) we can finally keep the Seventh Day Holy and then we also cease from our physical work as GOD did from His. Being Holy was the Problem. Christ is and was the cure.
John was writing the view point of those in the story he was telling.
Jesus' Ministry was continuous. He is a Holy being doing Holy work on the Holy Day. He is blamless as the priest in the Temple were.
If He was seeking His own will; such as working as a carpenter to provide for himself then He would have broke the Sabbath Commandment and would have sinned.
