Titus 3:6

6 which God poured out upon us generously through Jesus Christ our savior.

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 God our savior's kindness and love appeared,
5 he saved us because of his mercy, not because of righteous things we had done. He did it through the washing of new birth and the renewing by the Holy Spirit,
6 which God poured out upon us generously through Jesus Christ our savior.
7 So, since we have been made righteous by his grace, we can inherit the hope for eternal life."
8 This saying is reliable. And I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have come to believe in God might give careful attention to doing good. These things are good and useful for everyone.
