¹ and he shall see His face with joy for he will restore man to His righteousness. So the result of a man truly turning away from sin is to see God's face and to be restored to His righteousness. Both strange topics in Christendom: 1) to see God's face, and 2) to be restored to God's righteousness. These are topics strange to an estranged Christendom, but not to the scriptures of the New Testament as below:

For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Cor 4:6.

Seek the Lord and His strength; yearn for and seek His face, to be in His presence continually! 1 Chr 16:11.

seek you first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things will be added to you. Mat 6:33.

Do you not know.. you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? Rom 6:16.
