Titus 3:3-8 (The Message)
View In My Bible
3
It wasn't so long ago that we ourselves were stupid and stubborn, dupes of sin, ordered every which way by our glands, going around with a chip on our shoulder, hated and hating back.
4
But when God, our kind and loving Savior God, stepped in,
5
he saved us from all that. It was all his doing; we had nothing to do with it. He gave us a good bath, and we came out of it new people, washed inside and out by the Holy Spirit.
6
Our Savior Jesus poured out new life so generously.
7
God's gift has restored our relationship with him and given us back our lives. And there's more life to come - an eternity of life!
8
You can count on this.
