Ministry of Restitution Sheet
The Ministry of Restitution - if our actions or attitudes have brought hurt to another person there may be a need to go to that person and make right any wrong to break the destructive patterns in our relationships. God has forgiven us for the wrong the first time we ask. But to break the cycle of reaping from what we have sown and to begin restoring trust it is often necessary to make every effort to bring healing to others and to seek to restore the fractured relationship. Even if we feel the other person is 98% wrong and we are only 2% wrong, we are 100% responsible to walk in forgiveness and repentance for our 2%. (see Matthew 5:22-26; Psalm 109:17-19, 29).
Law and Grace Chart
As believers, we can choose to walk in the gift of Grace that God has given us or we can choose to be overly concerned with what is right and fair, the law. Satan traffics in law. God traffics in grace.
If we choose to walk in law we will receive law and judgement in our life. If we choose to walk in grace we will receive the benefits of grace.
This chart helps us to see the difference and which place we are operating in.
Our Image of God - The Loving Father?
Do we really picture God as the loving Father we see Jesus portray him as? Does He look like the image of Jesus who scripture tells us is the "exact representation" of the Father? If we don't see him this way, why not? What can cause us to have a skewed image of God?
