In this brief sermon, the speaker emphasizes that a believer’s restoration to God’s presence is not achieved by personal effort or checking off spiritual ‘boxes,’ but solely through Christ’s sacrifice and perfection. He urges listeners to return to God by faith, confess their wrongdoing, and ask for divine help, marking the beginning of the restoration process.
You may have a list in your head of all the boxes you have to check off before you can, quote, get back to what you had with God, to get back in his presence, to get back in his good graces. Let me tell you, your restoration depends upon Christ's sacrifice. Your restoration depends upon Christ's perfection, not on your performance. So if we by faith come back to him, ask for his help, we admit our wrongdoing. Thus begins the process of restoration.
