How do we know grace leads to restoration?

Answered in 1 source

Grace transforms robbers into restorers, compelling believers to work and give to those in need because Christ has restored us.

In the text from Ephesians 4:28, the Apostle Paul encourages believers to labor for the good, not just to avoid stealing but to actively serve and restore. The motivation comes from the realization that we have been restored by Christ who perfects the law on our behalf. When believers recognize their own neediness and how Christ has graciously provided for them, it compels them to extend that grace to others. As Christ labored and sacrificed for us, we are called to work diligently, providing for those who are in need, thus reflecting the transformative power of grace in our lives.
