Lord, thank You for this passage that succinctly describes the beauty of salvation and the goodness of God to pour out His mercy upon us. It washes over me with regeneration and renewal and encourages me to continue walking this path of His forgiveness and salvation that ends with the glorious hope of eternal life with You. I am uplifted and guided by your Holy Spirit. My gratitude overflows to know I am held in your righteous right hand forever. I love You, I exalt You in your name and authority, according to good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.

“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.” (Titus 3: 4-7 ESV)
