Blessings to you sir

May I state here that Zaccheus was saved because of his HEART and not necessarily his ACTIONS

Jesus knew he was truly sorry and saw his heart

If you have Jesus, and holy spirit, they will guide you on your journey in him ...

If you do restitution and your heart is still not repented, you are not saved

Let's leave restitution for the holy spirit, and find peace only in christ Jesus

If the holy spirit wants restitution from you, you would be informed

..YES...Jesus comes in first,we will give him space in our heart as Zacheus did and he will direct us dear..It is after Zaccheus received and allowed him in his house ..I noticed that then He knew that restitution was expedient. ..We will give Jesus access and he direct us..Jesus made this statement of him after his action;TODAY SALVATION HAS COME TO YOUR HOUSE ...

Contrition (I am sorry)- confession and Restitution as the case maybe. Then Forgiveness which is Satisfaction. I am a Catholic and we believe in the Sacrament of Penance. Happy Sunday of Epiphany.

Like you said...restitution is doctrine...... doctrine is set by man. Repentance is Scriptual..... Scripture is set by God. Why pollute Scripture with doctrine?...that's how Christians go astray.

When a man is born again, old things have passed away. .. just leave whatever you are doing and follow jesus, Jesus is restitution

How many disciples did restitution before following christ?

Restitution can discourage a sinner and lead him/her right back to sin

If you have peace in Christ Jesus, you don't need restitution, JESUS PAID THE PRICE IN FULL...

Have a blessed week ahead and a prosperous new year members

QED...BRO YOU SAID IT ALL...IS ALL BOUT LEVELS OF UNDERSTANDING AND REVELATIONS OF DIVINE MYSTERIES FROM THE SCRIPTURES, THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT...OUR COMFORTER AND TEACHER. JESUS SAID IT IS FINISHED...THAT SETTLES IT... PEOPLE SHOULD QUIT CREATING MORE NON-EXISTENT ISSUES FOR THEMSELVES.

REGARDS! cool

You must restitute if you have the means
Re: Is Repentance Without Restitution Enough? by Erastuslove: 12:38pm On Jan 06, 2019
No Sir! Restitution is the last stage of repentance to have a clear conscience and testimony
Re: Is Repentance Without Restitution Enough? by Forlardara(m): 12:53pm On Jan 06, 2019
Did Paul do restitution? Did Jesus order anybody to do restitution? There is no condition for salvation. Whosoever come to me...... Said Jesus Christ.

One of the hardest doctrines of Christianity is restitution. it is not just a Christian doctrine, but it has cases and Bible verses. The question is, after we repent of our sins, should we go back to apologise to those we offended, stole from, deceived, lied against, slandered terribly, cheated on & so on? If a man was an Adulterer and he repents, should he go back to his wife to confess it?? or a woman slept with someone who is not her husband, should she go to her husband to confess it

Restitution must be done, but with wisdom, counsel & sometimes divine instructions


The question I always ask is, Paul did all kinds of evil before repenting. But where did he redtitute?

He never did because restitution is not new testament

Imagine Paul seeking restitution, his ministry would have been over before it even started. ..

Restitution is an arrow Satan uses to weigh Xtians down

Imagine sleeping with a married woman, and you later turn to born again, Satan would start pricking your heart with guilt and tell you that you are fake unless you confess to the woman's husband.

Just confess your sins and sin no more... focus only on jesus, he alone has peace

If I stole your shirts, claim born again and come to your house for evangelism wearing those clothings, will you accept my message with all your heart?

God told Abimelech to restore the man his wife.......... Abimelech took it upon himself to butter up...ehmmm....appease Abraham with sheep and oxen and servants before restoring the wife. Should we take this to mean if a man takes another man's wife...he should return her to the husband?....and with gifts?

Restitution should be done but we need spiritual guidance from our leaders and pastors.

A woman who left her husband and marry another husband repent from her sin of adultery. Is she required to make restitution by leaving her present husband.
Re: Is Repentance Without Restitution Enough? by ozoneymcm: 6:16pm On Jan 06, 2019
Consiglieri:
We must repent (make it right with God) and make restitution (making it right with the person you wronged).

Before making restitution you must pray and ask God to protect you as do this and also pray that He touches the heart of the person you are making restitution to.

For extreme cases such as murder, rape, adultery etc, it is advisable that you seek the counsel of Pastors, elders, or possibly family members of the offended person before making restitution. These people can advise whether face to face restitution can be made or whether it is better to carry out some act to help the offended without making contact with them.
Confession is not restitution

Sometimes and in such cases as adultery, there can't be repentance without restitution.
As a single guy, I had an affair with a married colleague for 2years. Who was living away from her hubby. When I realised all she said about her husband was lies, and I called off the affair... I had no peace until I called her husband (who I got to know) and apologised, asked for his forgiveness and confessed to my then gfrnd who left .
But that was when I truly felt peace and got over her.
Becoz all the other times I decided to quit, I always got back with her until I did restitution.
Sometimes, restitution is the only real repentance.

Restitution is necessary and a must in Christianity. It's an evidence of repentance.
