Jesus Came to Restore the Lost
Devotional
The goal of Jesus’ rescue mission was not just to save us from sin but to restore us to a relationship with the Father. Salvation brings reconciliation—we are no longer separated from God but brought near as His children. Jesus restores what was lost in the Garden of Eden: our fellowship with God, our purpose, and our eternal hope. Through Him, we are not only saved but also made new, empowered to live in the fullness of God’s love and purpose for our lives.
Scripture Reading
2 Corinthians 5:17 – “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”
