“not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; “that being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”
Titus 3:5-7 KJV
Paul shared the Gospel of grace to the world when he wrote to his spiritual son Titus. Here he wrote that Jesus came to save us, not because of any virtuous deed that we have done but only because of God’s abundant mercy. He saved us, resurrecting us through the washing of rebirth. We are made completely new by the Holy Spirit, whom God poured over us richly by Jesus, the Messiah, our Life Giver. So as a gift of His love, and since we are faultless— innocent before His face— we can now become heirs of all things, all because of an overflowing hope of eternal life. The Gospel is not by anything we have done or can do, but only by His immeasurable, overflowing, abundant, extravagant grace, the finished work of the Cross. Everything for everyone of us and in every way was settled at the Cross. Let’s believe this truth of the Gospel of grace. Thank You, Jesus!
