”But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 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;“
Titus 3:4-6 KJV
Paul guides Titus, ”When the extraordinary compassion of God our Savior and His overpowering love suddenly appeared in Person, as the brightness of a dawning day, He came to save us. Not because of any virtuous deed that we have done but only because of His extravagant mercy. He saved us, resurrecting us through the washing of rebirth. We are made completely new by the Holy Spirit, Whom He splashed over us richly by Jesus, the Messiah, our Life Giver.“ It was the generosity of God and His fondness for mankind, that dawned on us when the light of salvation shone on us. God rescued the human race! Salvation is not a reward for good behaviour, God’s mercy alone saved us. When we heard the glad announcement of salvation, the Holy Spirit cleansed and re-booted us into newness of life and made us realise that we are co-included, co-crucified, co-raised, and now co-seated together with Christ in heavenly places. Hallelujah!
