Father, You are Jehovah Elnose, the God that forgave. Thank You for showing us Your kindness and love before we knew to love You. Thank You for saving us according to Your mercy and grace when we didn’t deserve it. Thank You, Jesus for humbling Yourself to die on a cross to atone for our sin while we were still sinners. Thank You for defeating death by Your resurrection that we may have abundant and eternal life. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for sending the Holy Spirit who regenerated us and renews us daily. Thank You, our Lord and Savior, for justification, for clothing us in Your righteousness, making us heirs and partakers in Your eternal hope. I sit in grateful reverence in the name and authority of Jesus, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.
“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, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” (Titus 3: 4-7 NKJV)
