Restoration is God's work of repairing what has been damaged by sin.
Throughout Scripture, God restores individuals, relationships, communities, and ultimately creation itself.
Restoration is closely connected to redemption. Through Christ, sinners are reconciled to God and begin experiencing renewal in the present. Yet restoration also points forward to the future when Christ will remove the curse, defeat evil completely, and establish a renewed creation.
Because of this, restoration includes both present transformation and future hope.
See in Scripture: Psalm 51:12; Acts 3:21; Galatians 6:1; Colossians 1:19–20; Revelation 21:1–5
