Redemption provides the path to restoration and in the Christian biblical narrative, the restoration is our ultimate hope.

Please give example of life base on this theory

 

REDEMPTION AND RESTORATION

Feeling tired of saying "sorry" to God but committing the same sins or worse over and over again? Unfortunately, we will commit sin, we will break God's heart over and over again. We will repent, and then break His heart some more and plead for His forgiveness again. That's the reality of human being as long as we are living in our earthly bodies that will soon face the judgment of our Creator. Redemption provides the way to the gift of restoration and in the Christian biblical narrative, the restoration is the only path of our great hope in life to be saved. We sometimes beat ourselves up and think of thoughts not according to the will of God but on our selfish will. According to David Nelson's "The Story of Mission: The Grand Biblical Narrative," in Bruce Ashford's Theology and Practice of Mission. He says that "In order to build a biblical-theological framework for understanding God's mission, one must first understand the unified biblical narrative, including its four major plot movements--the creation, fall, redemption, and restoration."

Redemption: 

This is by grace that the loving Creator (God) who rightly shows Himself to be wrathful toward our "sin" is merciful to turn evil and suffering we have caused into grace for His glory be revealed. As much as we don't want to, we will make mistakes over and over again "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." - Romans 3:23. No one is perfect. So the next movement shows God implementing a master plan for redeeming His creations in wickedness of this world. Thus, He is just to rescue fallen sinners in the pit of hell. In the Person of Jesus Christ, the great Son of God, God Himself comes to renew the world and restore His people through His blood shed on the cross of Calvary. The grand narrative of Scripture climaxes with the death and resurrection of the Savior Jesus Christ.

Restoration: 

The story doesn't end with redemption of God that He did on the cross. God has promised to renew the whole world, and the Bible gives us a peak into this glorious future of what will be revealed in the end of the days. The restoration of all things will take place as Christ will return to judge sin and evil, and He will usher in righteousness and peace. He Himself will be restored back to His saints, those who were washed in the blood of the lamb. The scripture says, (Revelation 7:14) "These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."

Life's amazing Bible stories of redemption and restoration :

1. Moses

Moses is the great character of a leader whom God uses to let His people go of the slavery of Egyptian. But, he committed murder before God called him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. This was illustrated to us in the book of Exodus chapter 2 about Moses killing an Egyptian. There he saw an Egyptian who was hitting his Hebrew brothers so he got even by killing him and hiding him in the sand, then he escaped away from Egypt and find himself in Midian.

But God still use him for the redemption of the Israelites from slavery.

2. David

David is known as the man who slain the giant Philistines' Goliath and he is the "man after God's own heart". Hence, in the book of 2 Samuel chapter 11, we can read in the scripture about how King David committed adultery with Bathsheba the wife of his loyal soldier named Uriah. He has been killed in the forefront of the battle in the intention of King David's desire to let him die.

But he repented and God still use him to be the great King of Israel and root of the coming Messiah (Jesus Christ)

3. Jonah

He was the prophet who spent three days and three nights in the belly of a big fish. Because of his disobedience to God to preach to Nineveh yet instead of following God's direct order to warn the sinners of Nineveh, he rode a ship to Tarshish so he can run away from God (as if it were possible) in his human thinking. This is based in the book of Jonah in the Old testament.

But God called him the second time around and he preached to the sinners in Nineveh and they repented.

4. Paul

Before he became God's apostle, he was Saul of Tarsus the great persecutors of Christians. He spent his life dragging believers on their feet on the way to the prison and kill them. He believed to be present during the stoning of Stephen, who was known to be the first Christian martyr. For these reasons, Paul called himself "chief of sinners" looking back his life as Saul.

But the Lord show Himself to Saul and he became Paul who bring the gospel of truth in most part of Asia.

Step-by-step explanation

God will not use perfect people, but uses imperfect people to His perfect will. While the enemy attacks us by using our own thoughts to condemn us. Does that mean we should continue sinning since we can repent anyways afterwards? As Apostle Paul stated in Romans 6:1, certainly not! When we sin, God is gracious enough to forgive us. The good news is God forgives us if we repent wholeheartedly (and we should not use this as an excuse to willfully sin and disobey Him time and time again). Amen.
