But When The Kindness and Love Of God...

our Savior was shown, he saved us because of His mercy. It was no because of the good deeds we did to be right with him. He saved us through the washing that made us new people through the Holy Spirit.

                                                                                                               -Titus 3:4-5

2 Timothy 1:8-9 states...

But suffer with me for the Good News. God, who gives us the strength to do that, saved us and made us his holy people. That is not because of anything we did ourselves but because of God's purpose and grace. That grace was given to us through Christ Jesus before time began.
