Titus 3:4-6 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 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, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior,
I spent lots of quiet time with God today. Not talking or anything, just being. I read several scripture passages before I finally settled on this one from Titus. This is a passage that has so much in it and I had to keep going with the verses, hence the 3 verses today. I love all of the words of this passage. There is so much here, but I will focus on "the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit". Both of these must go hand in hand for us to truly get the fullness of who Jesus is in our lives. We must be washed by the blood of the lamb on the cross to gain a rebirth into a sinless life. Our sin separated us from God and Jesus is the only way to bridge that gap forever. Once we have the washing of rebirth, we must be filled to the fullest by the Holy Spirit. This must be so in order that we not fall back into our old pattern of sin, but that we can experience renewal through Him and become a new creation. Glory to God for His mercy and grace!
