Redemption

God justifies ungodly sinners by His grace upon the ground of the blood of Christ through the means of faith. This complete salvation is bestowed as the gree gift of God apart from man's works ( Rom. 3:24-28 ; Rom. 5:1,9 ; Eph. 2:8,9 )

Restitution

The Bible teaches us that restitution must be made in respect of our misdeeds to our fellowmen. This will enable us to have clear minds both towards God and men. Of such restitution are the return of stolen or illgotten property, request for pardon for slander or backsliding, repayments of debts and confession to those whom we have offended, Exodus 22:3 , Leviticus 6:4 , Proverbs 6:31 , Ezekial 33:15 and Luke 19:8-9 .
