Image Restored is a theological exploration of salvation, judgment, repentance, and hope that demonstrates how God's Justice and Love cannot be separated. Rather than arguing for a diminished view of sin or a softened gospel, this book takes sin, death, and judgment with full seriousness—while challenging inherited frameworks that portray God as distant, retributive, or ultimately abandoning His creation. Drawing deeply from Scripture, early Christian imagery, and the biblical vision of restoration, Image Restored presents judgment not as divine rejection but as divine refinement, and repentance not as humiliation but as awakening. Written for readers who wrestle with the moral and theological tensions of traditional doctrines—especially concerning hell, free will, accountability, and the fate of the unevangelized—this work offers a coherent vision of God as faithful healer rather than coercive authority. It asks whether the final word of the gospel is punishment or restoration, terror or trust, abandonment or presence. This is not a polemic, nor an attempt to flatten mystery. It is an invitation to see salvation as the long work of God’s love—one that confronts truth honestly, honors human dignity, and remains faithful to the character of God revealed in Christ. For readers seeking a serious, Scripture-saturated theology that preserves both justice and mercy without compromise, Image Restored offers a compelling reexamination of what it means to be saved, judged, and ultimately made whole.
