Titus 3:1 Remind the believers to submit to the government and its officers. They should be obedient, always ready to do what is good. 2 They must not slander anyone and must avoid quarreling. Instead, they should be gentle and show true humility to everyone. 3 Once we, too, were foolish and disobedient. We were misled and became slaves to many lusts and pleasures. Our lives were full of evil and envy, and we hated each other. 4 But—"When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, 5 he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit. 6 He generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior. 7 Because of his grace he declared us righteous and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life."
Wow, glory to God and hallelujah! I am so grateful that salvation is not dependent on the righteous things I have done. Rather it is dependent on the kindness and mercy of God. Praise God for the confidence of eternal life.
Should you feel the urge to shout, please do so responsibly...
Today take time to really thank God for salvation. Then pray for our country's leaders and for the upcoming primary election. Don't slander our leaders. Pray for them. Pray for their salvation.
Love in Christ,
Steve Sherwood Sr
