Titus 3:6 Meaning and Commentary

Titus 3:6

Which he shed on us abundantly
"Or richly"; either which love he shed abroad in the hearts of those whom he regenerated and renewed by his Spirit; or which water of regeneration, that is, grace, comparable to water, he plentifully shed, and caused to abound where sin had done; or rather whom, or which Holy Spirit, with his gifts and graces, such as faith, hope, and love, and every other, he poured forth in great abundance on them; see ( Isaiah 44:3 ) ( 1 Timothy 1:14 )

through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
the love and kindness of God the Father our Saviour, comes through him; the mercy of God streams through him; the salvation itself is by, and through him; the grace communicated in regeneration and renovation is out of his fulness; the Spirit himself is given forth from him; and every supply of grace, by which the work is carried on, comes out of his hands; and everything wrought in us, that is well pleasing in the sight of God, is through him; and even the gift of God, eternal life itself.

Titus 3:6 In-Context

4 But when the mercy of God our Saviour, and his love to man was seen,

5 Not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but in the measure of his mercy, he gave us salvation, through the washing of the new birth and the giving of new life in the Holy Spirit,

6 Which he gave us freely through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

7 So that, having been given righteousness through grace, we might have a part in the heritage, the hope of eternal life.

8 This is a true saying; and it is my desire that you may give certain witness about these things, so that those who have had faith in God may give attention to good works. These things are good and of profit to men;
