Repentance - "As you by faith grasp the meaning of the sacrifice, you see yourself a sinner, condemned by a broken law. This is repentance." 1 SM 343

 

Repentance - God's repentance is not like man's repentance. "The Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for He is not a man, that He should repent." Man's repentance implies a change of mind. God's repentance implies a change of circumstances and relations. Man may change His relation to God by complying with the conditions upon which he may be brought into the Divine favor, or he may, by his own action, place himself outside the favoring condition; but the Lord is the same "yesterday, and today, and forever. Saul's disobedience changed his relation to God; but the conditions of acceptance with God were unaltered--God's requirements were still the same, for with Him there "is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." James 1:17" PP 630

Reproof-"The true object of reproof is gained only when the wrongdoer himself is led to see his fault and his will is enlisted for its correction." Ed 291

 

Reprove and exhort with all long suffering and doctrine - "There is pastoral work to do, and this means to reprove and exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine; that is, he should present the Word of God, to show wherein there is a deficiency...."EV 347-348

 

Rest - Equated with scriptural truth. Isaiah 28:9-13

 

Rest- "Rest is found when all self-justification, all reasoning from a selfish standpoint, is put away.  Entire self-surrender, an acceptance of his ways. Is the secret of perfect rest in His love…What is the "rest" promised? It is the consciousness that God is true, that He never disappoints the one who comes to Him. His pardon is full and free, and His acceptance means rest to the soul, rest in His love." OHC 97

 

Restore – A verb that has several distinct actions and different focuses regarding returning a facet of life, or returning something to its original state in relationship to a person, persons, or to God.  Other aspects of restore can mean to return a quality to its original state in the person as in the restoration of physical disease, and even life itself. For Example:

Joel 2:25 God will restore the years lost to famine and sin.

II Kings 8:1-6 The story of the Shunamite whose son had been restored to life through the prophet Elisha. After 7 years of famine Gehazi was talking to the king of Israel about Elisha and the woman came before the king to have her lands restored to her after being gone for so long. The king restored unto her her properties and her way of life, as well as the life of her son.

Restoration-(to one’s self) - "…is subjection to God." DA 462

 

Resurrection - That event which occurs when a soul, a being created by God through the combining of body and spirit, dies, meaning the body and soul are separated - the body returning to dust and the sprit - life energy - returns to God, and then is recombined at the call of Jesus for either the resurrection of life or the resurrection of death.  The resurrection is that creative event which grants physical restoration to the spiritual recreation of conversion. This event will take place in three phases 1) the special resurrection just before Jesus comes, 2) the resurrection of the just, 3) the resurrection of the unjust. The righteous will be granted an incorruptible body and the gift of immortality (I Corinthians 15), the wicked will be resurrected in the same body that they died with, and the same current of thought and will suffer the punishment assigned to them in the judgment (GC 662-673).
