The Bible teaches that wrongs against our fellowman for which one can make amends must be righted. One must “have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men” (Acts 24:16).

In order to become a Christian, a person repents of and confesses to God all wrongdoing. God, in turn, forgives him. One of the evidences of a salvation experience is the desire to straighten out the past wherever possible. Restitution includes restoring where one has defrauded, stolen, or slandered; repaying debts; and making confession.

Leviticus 6:4; Ezekiel 33:15; Luke 19:8-9
