OUR STORY REWRITTEN
Tis the Season – Week 3
Titus 3:3-8
WE KNOW THAT
Titus 3:3 ESV – For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another.
Romans 3:23 ESV – For there is no distinction: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
THERE IS ONLY ONE
Titus 3:4-6 ESV – But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior.
Romans 6:23 ESV – For the wages of sin is death,
but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Acts 4:12 ESV – And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
Titus 3:5 ESV - He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit.
Christmas brings the reminder that God sent Jesus, full of grace and mercy to rewrite the ending of our story.
IT’S NOT JUST OUR
Titus 3:6-7 ESV – Whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works.
These things are excellent and profitable for people.
God can rewrite your story through His grace and mercy.
