January 28
Read: Titus 3
Big Idea: If you are a saved person, it is because God showed His kindness and love to you. It is not because of any good deeds on your part. He was merciful to you when He caused you to receive “the washing of regeneration.” The new birth is a time of cleansing and renewal by the Spirit. Because we have been “justified” (declared “not guilty in God’s courtroom) by grace, we have gained an inheritance that is everlasting!
