God wants to "RENEW" us.

That was the reason for the cross.


 

2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ; old things are passed away behold, all things have become new."


God then wants to "RESTORE" us.

That was the entire reason for His coming. To restore the garden relationship between Himself and humanity.


Psalm 23:3 "He restores my soul."



Once God has renewed us through His Son, Jesus Christ and restored us to a right relationship, He then desires to recreate us in His image.


         Colossians 1:16

              "all things were created through Him for Him"


Now we can go and "REFLECT" His image to others allowing Christ to renew, restore and recreate the Kingdom of God in them.


2 Corinthians 3:18 "But we all, with unveild face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit"
