He Makes All Things New Written
One word which I think sums up the whole Bible quite well is the word restoration. God restores and He makes new. Scripture opens with the completion of creation, and it was declared to be good. Man and woman were made in His image in perfect relationship with one another and the Father, enjoying the fruits of the garden together. However, as we all know too well, things did not remain that way, and that perfect relationship was ruined. Adam and Eve could no longer enjoy the fruits of that beautiful garden, as they were banished because of their sin. 11

From that time on, until the time of Christ, we saw the outworking of God’s plan to restore us to Himself, and to make His enemies a footstool for His feet.
Restoration We see the outworking of restoration in most things. In nature, after a wildfire has completely destroyed a forest, new growth eventually appears. In our lives the Lord restores what “the locusts have eaten” and so much more. Although, it does not always look how we might expect it to look.
