Restoration
In this case, restoration brings about the act of transforming an individual back to the
original form. The human being was restored by God by sending his only son to come and
restore the world. The Bible clearly indicates how God sent His son for the world to believe in
Him hence receive his promises of eternal life (John 3:16). According to the Christian world
view, the solution to our problems just believes to God and gives Him our problems so that He
may cleanse them, and we are restored.

GOSPEL ESSENTIALS
Faith and grace play an important role in Christian lives as one has to believe there is
God even if he or she has never seen Him (“Lecture 4,” chapter 6, para. 2). Through the faith and
grace of the Lord, people are able to receive favors and other things from God. Faith also keeps
an individual in salvation and also encourages one to persist in believing in God thus His grace is
always on the believers (Sider, 2015, N. p).
Christians have the belief that transformation of them and the society happens through
believing that Jesus died for our sins so that he may restore us and also bring us nearer to the
Lord.
Analysis
Being a Christian has a lot of advantages as one receives God’s love and favors much
than a non-Christian individual. Being a Christian also encourages an individual that he or she
will enjoy the reward that God promises us which is eternal life. One can also restore the lost
souls next to Christ and make them have to enjoy God’s promises after the coming of Christ in
the second time.
However, being Christian one may encounter a lot of challenges as Jesus himself went
through. One has to be tested his or her belief since many people might be against you which is a
great challenge in Christianity life (Langton, 2014, N. p). The devil will also be interested to test
your faith as a Christian since Christian life is not easy at all.
Christians influence the acts of individuals especially when one is doing the wrong in
their presence. One will feel awkward when committing a crime in a Christian presence. As
Christian one has to set a good example to others so that they may follow his or her deeds. A
Christian is always an ambassador of Jesus to the world.
