The document discusses the biblical concept of kingdom restoration through Jesus Christ. It explains that when Adam and Eve sinned, their relationship with God, each other, themselves, and creation was broken. However, Jesus restored these relationships through his sacrificial and sinless death on the cross. His death paid the price for sin and redeemed mankind. It then discusses how the kingdom of God is both a present and future reality, seen through inner transformation rather than external events. Believers now experience righteousness, peace and joy through the Holy Spirit. The kingdom of God calls us to live transformed lives as kingdom people.

Gen 3:14-15
15 And I will put enmity between you and the
woman, and between your offspring and hers;
HE WILL CRUSH YOUR HEAD,
AND YOU WILL STRIKE HIS HEEL."

2. FALLEN MAN  3. RESTORED MAN

10. 2. FALLEN MAN  3. RESTORED MAN
Heb 9:19-22
19 When Moses had proclaimed every commandment
of the law to all the people, he took the blood of
calves, together with water, scarlet wool and
branches of hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all
the people.
20 He said, "This is the blood of the
covenant, which God has
commanded you to keep."
21 In the same way, he sprinkled
with the blood both the
tabernacle and everything used
in its ceremonies.

11. 2. FALLEN MAN  3. RESTORED MAN
Heb 9:22 In fact, the law requires that
nearly everything be cleansed
with blood, and without the
shedding of blood there is no
forgiveness.
Heb 9:7 But only the high priest
entered the inner room, and that
only once a year, and never
without blood, which he offered
for himself and for the sins the
people had committed in
ignorance.

12. Heb 9:12-14
12 He (Jesus) did not enter by means of the blood
of goats and calves;
but he (Jesus) entered the Most Holy Place
once for all by his own blood, having obtained
eternal redemption.
13 The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of
a heifer sprinkled on those who are
ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that
they are outwardly clean.
14 How much more, then, will the BLOOD OF
CHRIST, who through the eternal Spirit offered
himself unblemished to God, cleanse our
consciences from acts that lead to death, so
that we may serve the living God!

13. 2. FALLEN MAN  3. RESTORED MAN
