(TEXT : Titus 3:5)
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
FOCUS :
SALVATION isn’t by work, but it’s by His Grace and Mercy we are all “SAVED and not CONSUMED.” Many would think that their money saved them, to some they could think it is by their beauty attraction, to some perhaps they will rather think it is by the volume of friends that they keep around themselves, and while to some, they could think it by their multiple connections to the top people in the world. But the truth is, nobody is saved by his or her “works”, and that is why you cannot continue in sin and ask GRACE to multiply upon your life. It is called “God forbid”!
Romans 6:1-4 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
In addition, the Holy Spirit did lots of mighty works in the process of our redemption, sanctification regeneration, and justification. There is no salvation journey that does not have the impact and the attributes of the Holy Spirit involved. You can’t write the story of your salvation without the Holy Spirit being involved in the journey. The journey from sinful behavior and right into the saints of God, that alone takes a “spiritual excise” and that spiritual excise can only be by the help of the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit, you cannot be SAVED, and without you being SAVED, you cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.
John 16:13
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Ephesians 1:13
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Finally, the journey of entering into the Kingdom of God begins with just a boldness of confession; which will now later give the Holy Spirit the latitude to access your SOUL and lead it to where it properly belong in the eternity. Your acceptance here on earth that you are a sinner gives the Holy Spirit the large opportunity to lead you to God’s “genuine repentance”; and by this you become “GENUINELY BORN AGAIN.” So without any doubt, the whole system of “salvation” lies on you “acknowledging the work of Holy Spirit in the journey of your SALVATION.” You can’t save yourself by your own works or power, no system on earth can save you from sin; except you come to Jesus Christ through the help of the HOLY SPIRIT.
Matthew 3:11
I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
Luke 4:18-19 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
BE SAFE AND GET SAVED!
God bless you richly!
Jesus Christ loves you
Thank you Holy Spirit
ARE YOU SAVED?
