Next to man’s need for revelation is his need for restoration. Once we know who God is and what he expects of us, we will need to “walk” according to his will and ways.

To do this, we must first be freed from our slavery to sin and death. We need God to restore us into a position where we are free to choose to follow him.

Jesus is the ultimate deliverer-king. He alone can deliver us from the ultimate bondage – the bondage of sin. He alone can empower us to walk with the Almighty in holiness.
