Repentance- is (1) turning from as much as you know of your sin, (2) to give as much of you know yourself, (3) to as much of you know of God. (JI Packer)
Restoration– (1) When God takes something broken and makes it brand new; (2) the process of receiving back more that has been lost such that the final state is greater than the original condition.
Transformation– Spiritual transformation is the process by which Christ is formed in us …
- for the Glory of God, (2) for the abundance of our own lives, (3) and for the sake of others.
