Today I would like to look at Titus 3 verse 4 to 7

3)For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, and wrong. We were slaves to passions and pleasures of all kinds. We spent our lives in malice and envy; others hated us and we hated them.
4)But when the kindness and love of God our Saviour was revealed,
5)He saved us. It was not because of any good deeds that we ourselves had done, but because of His own mercy that He saved us, through the Holy Spirit, who gives us new birth and new life by washing us.
6)God poured out the Holy Spirit abundantly on us through Jesus Christ our Saviour,
7)so that by His grace we might be put right with God and come into possession of the eternal life we hope for.

Our desire to live like God wants us to live is not of our own doing, it is because of the goodness and love of God. God saved us out of mercy. When we realize that we are saved by God's grace, and that we are heirs of eternal life, then we will live as God want's us to live. We thus lives the way God wants us too, not because we want to earn anything from God, but because He has saved us and we are grateful to Him.
(Note how God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit works together to save us in these verses.)

Have a wonderful day.
