RE: The importance of restitution
restitution is the divine principle of correcting or fixing the wrongs committed when possible-that is, when you do something wrong to another person and you become Christ, you must go to it and ask for forgiveness. Restitution is the natural result of the Salvation. When a person has truly become converted by the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit, he is a new creature in Christ. It is this new heart and regenerated spirit that incites the individual to make restitution for the mistakes he made against others, when he lived in sin. Those evils often caused pain, anguish, financial burden, and robbing innocent people. Love for others makes the regenerated heart want to make restitution when - when possible. That is all that God requires. If possible, you must by all means do it.
