Quick answer
God will cleanse His people from all iniquity and pardon all their sins and rebellions against Him. Forgiveness is the foundation of the promised restoration.
Overview
At the heart of the renewal stands God's promise to cleanse and forgive completely, removing the guilt that caused the judgment. National restoration rests on this prior spiritual restoration. Such full cleansing and pardon are accomplished through the blood of Christ, who purifies His people from all sin (1 John 1:7; Heb. 9:14).
