As great as it is to be freed from the consequences of our sin through the absolution of God, His forgiveness extends further than that. Many don't get to experience complete freedom because they stop at absolution. They know that they have been freed from the punishment of their sins and that they are good eternally with God, but many refuse to enter into the next freedom phase.

The freedom that God gives you is not only freedom from sin, but freedom to a life of purpose. God's freedom is greater than simply a pardon and release from punishment. He also wants to release you to be a world-changer working alongside Him.

At the same time that this declaration of innocence is happening, we are also fully restored. It's not that you get absolved, and then after a few years of "proving yourself" you are restore into the person God has called you to be. Absolution and restoration happen at the same time.
