But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.
But when the kindness
Ephesians 2:6-7 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
and the love of God our Savior
Luke 1:46-47 And Mary said, "My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, ..."
appeared
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.
he saved us
Romans 11:13-14 I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them.
not because of righteous things we had done
Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast.
but because of his mercy
1 Peter 1:3-5 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed at the last time.
