SAVED: Mercy and Grace

TODAY'S READING: Is. 1-3; Titus 3

SCRIPTURE

Titus 3:4-8 [4] But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, [5] he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, [6] whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, [7] so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. [8] This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.

OBSERVATION

Today I’m just going to pick out words for this passage:
Kindness, Love, Mercy, Grace, Hope, Trusted, and most of all saved.

APPLICATION

Twice in this passage it says, “he saved us”
Today, I’m going to rest it that.

PRAYER

Father,
Thank you again for Your Word, which is my hope.
Make me mindful, of these words all day; “He saved us”
“He saved us” - this is a trustworthy saying.
