How do we know that God restores what is lost?

Answered in 1 source

God demonstrates His restorative power through His Word, showing that He desires to recover and restore His people.

The concept of divine restoration is prevalent throughout the scriptures, illustrating God's purposeful actions to bring back what is lost. Examples include David’s recovery of his family and possessions in 1 Samuel 30, which serves as a type of Christ’s redemptive work. The Lord desires to bring His people back into right relationship with Himself after they have strayed or suffered loss due to sin or circumstances beyond their control (Isaiah 49:6). This pattern of recovery culminates in the New Testament with Christ, whose mission was centered around recovering the lost, demonstrating that God not only has the power to restore but also actively engages in the restoration process for His glory.
