The Restoration Of All Things: And The Ministry of Reconciliation

The restoration of all things was foreordained by God to bring mankind back into right standing with Him. God knew man would sin "in the beginning" and provided a way for His creation to become reconciled back to Him through the finished works of the cross. God's original intent for creation is found in His eternal purpose for mankind. His eternal purpose for mankind is found in His will. When we come under the subjection of His will we will understand His eternal purpose.
