Please let sleeping dogs lie.... you can never tell how the woman will react to the revelation that you have been duping her codedly. ...she may likely not reason with the motive behind your action,and may get very vindictive ... Even the Bible says..... "If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature....Old things are passed away and ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW Just make sure you are fair in your future dealings with her, while also going out of your way to quietly refund that which you have dubiously taken from her by way of random gifts and favors without her knowing that's what you are doing Repentance shouldn't entail putting a gun in your mouth and pulling the trigger...... Go and sin no more 22 Likes 3 Shares |

Yes! For peace of mind. How can you be putting on a stolen dress everyday and the owner peradventure sees you, how will you feel? The book in your shelf that's not yours and yet you are keeping it and you know the rightful owner, and maybe the owner is still in dire need of it, is it good? 2 Likes |

What is restitution? |
Re: Is Restitution Necessary For Repentance? by Kondomatic(m): 7:24am On Jan 08, 2017 |
Well, Genuine repentance leads to a desire to redress wrongs, but you should bear in mind that not all wrongs are redressable. Restitution should be done only when necessary and possible because the heart of man is wicked and the wronged may harm you. 2 Likes |

The problem with restitution is that u can't actually make restitution for all your sins... Unless u want to be like that guy who relinquished his admission... If u get a job through false pretenses and get paid handsomely for ten years before repenting... Would u return all the money u have collected?? 4 Likes |

chibenn:Restitution, repentance and forgiveness are intertwined. You might have restituted for that particular offence unknowingly But if you are still lacking inner peace, go and meet her and do for her more than you did against her. That is true repentance. And for those telling you no, maybe they need to read Gal 6.7 over and over again. 1 Like |

I think you should do things for her that would make her happy. You can then tell her wat u did afterwards. She might not forgive u but u'll be at peace with yourself knowing you've tried to make up for your sins. 1 Like |

Re: Is Restitution Necessary For Repentance? by donpata(m): 7:34am On Jan 08, 2017 |
Nope, its not. Bible is clear, once u are truly repented in heart, God forgives u. Problem is that what u feel is conscience. That's part of the harm sin does. some scars are permanent, some go with time. This is a scar of sin; the pricking of ur conscience. God has forgiven u but the "Deceiver of Brethren" will keep laughing at u, telling u in your heart that u are a damn sinner who can't be forgiven. he will laugh at u when u pray, asking u if u think God will answer the prayer of a "sinner" His aim is to make u doubt ur Faith in Christ. that's what he always wanna do. soon, u will find it difficult to pray cos u will think God won't accept especially if it seems to u, previous requests to God weren't answered. Well then, this is where restitution comes in. Its not necessary for repentance but it is needed at times for the growth & sustainability of ur faith in Christ. Moreover, the main reason u may be afraid to tell her is cos of shame of what she will keep thinking or telling people abt u. But u c, that is the cross u must carry when following Christ. U tell her and move on. No matter what she says, or thinks thereafter, E no concern u. all u need do is pray and meet her. whatever the outcome is, take it. its ur cross. lastly, God can giv u a save landing. remember Esau and Jacob? While Jacob was planning on how to survive the anger of Esau, God had gone ahead and smoothen things up. So u can forget the devil and move on with ur life or shame him by restituting. Either way, he will eventually let u be on that iss. Good luck 2 Likes |

I thought the past is past in Christianity. From what your bible says, once u're in christ, old things are "past". Besides, the prostitute Jesus rescued from the mob, he never told her to go and tell her customers she infected them with STDs. He only told her to go, start a clean sheet, and stain the sheet no more. Restitution is a choice, not an expectation, or requisite for full repentance. |
