Titus 3:7 (NLT) Because of His grace He made us right in His sight and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life. 2 Thes 2:16 (ESV) Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself & God our Father, who by grace has loved us & given us eternal comfort & good hope, comfort your hearts & establish them in every good work & word. 2Tim 1:9 He has saved us & called us to a holy calling, not because of our works, but by His own purpose & by the grace He granted us in Christ Jesus before time began. Titus 3:5 -6 He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to His own mercy, by the washing of regeneration & renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior. — Did you get that His Grace was given before the world began, so you can deduct that it certainly doesn’t depend on our good works! How about the fact that He saved us according to His mercy not the works done by us! Lest we should boast! We must know that God saved us! He gave it all that we might be saved from eternal damnation! He poured out on us the righteousness of Jesus Christ! A love like no other. Love Mel
