The doctrine of restoration directly connects our actions and hearts in this life to our reward in the next. For this reason restoration “more fully condemneth the sinner.” The sinner’s actions and heart move him away from God; that darkness of soul means that darkness of soul will be returned to him the next life. Our actions may condemn us, but they may also save us. The choice is ours.
