Scripture Passage: Titus 3:3-7

As Believers, this world is not our home; but while we’re on our way to glory, we are to demonstrate God’s grace to those around us. Titus 3 reveals the life we could have if we choose to live grace-filled lives.

This passage recognizes our past guilt.

We are sinners by birth, nature, and choice. Titus 3:3 says, “For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.”

This passage also describes our present grace.

Grace is absolutely contrary to human nature. All the wisdom of this world could never explain it. But having experienced God’s grace for ourselves, we understand what we were once foolish.

By His grace, we are freed from a life of sin and the hateful spirit that plagues this messy world.

Scripture says, “But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit…” (Titus 3:4-5).

Grace is rooted in God’s love; there is nothing we can do or stop doing that will save us; it is the grace of God alone that atones our sin. The Holy Spirit supernaturally regenerates us and cleanses us from the inside out. It is a continual work; day by day, the Spirit keeps us, renews, restores, and refreshes us.

Adrian Rogers says, “God doesn’t love us because we’re valuable; we’re valuable because God loves us.”

This present grace is rooted in the saving death of Jesus Christ. (See Titus 3:6.)

Jesus Christ provided himself as an innocent sacrifice; He bore our sins and died the death we deserved.

This grace is also for our future glory.

Titus 3:7 says, “...that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”

Because of God’s grace, we are joint heirs of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is a token of our future inheritance. We are simply passing through this world as pilgrims on our way to greater things; the best is yet to come.

Apply it to your life

Have you been forgiven of your past guilt, renewed by God’s present grace, and received the promise of future glory? Let your life be a testament of God’s wonderful grace.
