GRACE Titus 3:4-7 Part 2 of 2

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. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.

He saved us through the washing

of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit 
Romans 12:2  Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.

whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior 
Romans 5:5  And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

so that, having been justified by his grace 
Romans 3:24  ... and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

we might become heirs

having the hope 
Romans 8:24  For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have?

of eternal life

Titus 1:1-4  Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ to further the faith of God's elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness--in the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time and which now at his appointed season he has brought to light through the preaching entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior, To Titus, my true son in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
