The biblical meaning of the word "restoration" is to receive back more than has been lost to the point where the final state is greater than the original condition. The main point is that someone or something is improved beyond measure.

Unlike the regular dictionary meaning of "restoration," which is to return something back to its original condition, the biblical definition of the word has greater connotations that go above and beyond the typical everyday usage. Repeatedly throughout the Bible, God blesses people for their faith and hardships by making up for their losses and giving them more than they previously had before.

This multifaceted promises addresses every aspect of our lives

On earth there are no equivalent replacements for our deepest losses. But God promises us this: “I will restore.” That is our hope as His children. In confidence we can move forward even with crushed hearts and empty hands. One day we’ll walk through heaven’s gates, the light of God’s glory will envelop us, and our restoration will be complete.
