“Having the HOPE of Eternal Life”
When the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His Mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:4-7
In verse three, we see the condition of MANKIND before they become recipients of God’s AMAZING GRACE. We, mankind, was/is DISOBEDIENT, FOOLISH, DECEIVED and ENSLAVED by all kinds of passions and pleasures. Mankind lives in MALICE, ENVY, and HATRED. BUT when God’s KINDNESS and LOVE, which was PERSONIFIED through the LIFE of JESUS CHRIST, appeared. He SAVED us!
He brought SALVATION to a LOST and DYING WORLD, and it was NOT done by our OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, but it was carried out because of HIS MERCY, He provided a WAY for MANKIND to NOT get what they deserve, but HE brought us SALVATION through REBIRTH and RENEWAL by His HOLY SPIRIT. He WASHES us from the FILTH of our SINS and through the WORK of His HOLY SPIRIT, who INDWELLS every TRUE BELIEVER, He RENEWS our HEARTS and MINDS. The Spirit Himself, testifies with our spirit that WE ARE GOD’S CHILDREN. (Rom. 8:16) Do you have that consolation? Do you POSSESS the HOPE of ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN?
If NOT, you can. God’s plan of SALVATION for mankind, from the BEGINNING, will continue to the END, because of His UNFAILING LOVE, ABUNDANT MERCY, and His AMAZING GRACE. It is His desire that NONE should PERISH, but ALL would come to Him for their SALVATION. In order to do that, you MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART. And CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS. Then BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God. You MUST ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION, and be able to ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and have the HOPE of ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS. Do this NOW, while you still can. He’s waiting and COMING SOON!!!
