The restored believer can say, “I am now a son of God again.” Restoration for the believer is always a restoration of relationship, because restoration is defined by the cross, and restoration to relationship is what the cross did.

I’m learning the reality of the cross and the work that it accomplished in my life. As I enter into that reality more and more, I become increasingly aware of who I am as a daughter. I feel things shifting, not just within, but around…

For all of creation is longing for the revelation of the sons and daughters of God (Romans 8:19).
