The doctrine of restoration makes a direct connection between our actions and our hearts in this life and our reward in the next. For this reason does restoration “more fully condem the sinner.” The sinner produces actions and a heart that are walking away from God, and that darkness of soul will return a darkness of soul in the next life. Our actions may condemn us, but our repentance and righteous actions may similarly save us.
