“who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.” – Titus 2:14
Our salvation is nothing to do with what we DO but rests entirely upon what the Lord Jesus Christ has DONE. Our salvation has everything to do with Christ’s merit and His finished work on the cross, but has nothing to do with our human merit or the good deeds we may do. Our salvation is a free gift of God’s grace for all who simply believe on the Lord Jesus Christ – by grace through faith in Him. Our salvation rests on the finished work of Christ on the cross of Calvary: so that all who believe on Him would not perish but have forgiveness of sins and receive life everlasting.
Our salvation has nothing to do with our ‘DOING’ but has everything to do with our ‘BELIEVING’ – believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, the jailer was told by Paul, and we also are called to rest on what God has already provided for us.. by grace through faith. We are to have confidence on all that the Lord Jesus carried out at Calvary and depend on the saving work that His death and resurrection provides for all who trust on Him and rest in His truth.
Christ gave Himself to redeem us from all lawlessness and to cleanse us for Himself from all sin, and His shed blood at Calvary was the full and final price that was demanded as payment for our sin, by a righteous and holy God. We have not simply been forgiven of our sins but have been redeemed from all our lawlessness.. for a purpose: that we might become His own possession. for we have been bought with a price.. the precious blood of Christ, and so we should glorify God in our body and be eager to do the good works that God has prepared and foreordained to carry out in the life of each of His children.
Let us never forget that our redemption has nothing to do with what we DO but has everything to do with what Christ has DONE. It has nothing to do with what we DO but with what we BELIEVE.
He saved us, not because of the righteous things we have done, but because of His mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.. and generously poured out His Spirit upon us, through Jesus Christ our Saviour.
