Titus 3:5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit
God has us in His grip, not because we are perfect but because we acknowledge Christ as our Saviour!
It is because of His great mercy we are covered by the blood of Jesus.
The Holy Spirit is here to guide us and teach us what is righteous – listen!
