Amazing Salvation

II Tim. 3:4-7
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, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

This passage so clarifies the origin and means of my salvation.
  • Source: The goodness and kindness of God.
  • When: The Savior appeared. (Jesus, God in human form)
  • How: Not by human works in any way no matter how righteous
  • How: According to the washing of regeneration and renewal of Spirit
  • Method: He poured the Spirit in us richly through Jesus Christ.
  • Why: So that being justified by His grace we might be heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
How exciting! And all of these because of the goodness and kindness of God. What amazing grace!

Father,
Thank You for such amazing salvation, for choosing me to be Your child, and for allowing me to be an heir of eternal life.
In Jesus name,
Amen
