PIC: Restoration of 1970s Vespa P150 Engine
Introduction
The Lord can restore you, even better than this old Vespa🤗
But first you have to be a Vespa!
God does not “restore” the lost. He makes them a new creature. He makes the repentant sinner brand new! And then, throughout our journey – God restores and comforts.
Jesus saved me. Make sure you are saved.
See: | Lost I Came To Him |
| The Kingdom of God is very exclusive, very luxurious, very special |
| God forgives all wrongdoings of all repentant sinners – no exception |
| God forgives sins by His Holy Holy Justice |
| Know that you know you know |

but you know Him because He (the Holy Spirit) remains with you continually and will be in you.

FOR MORE:
Note: All “the born again” are “saints“…set apart by God Himself for God’s special purposes. It’s not about being without sin – but rather being set apart by God [Source: 2 Corinthians 1:1 a] You become “set apart” by repenting, turning to Him.
Called by Jesus to be forever on a higher level
Sin is not the issue in salvation
Why on earth will God accept you – a sinner?
What God secures – you cannot lose
Psalm 51 type repentance and salvation
Why might many Charismatics not be saved
Jesus will reject many “Christians”
Small gods, and our great big beautiful God
Legally Damned – Legally Forgiven
