Titus 3:4-6 KJV
But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
I see three key words and concepts in the passages I read today.
I see first kindness and love
The work of the Lord in us is firstly a work of love. The kindness of God in loving us cannot be over stated. We have every reason to rejoice in such kindness and love.
And then comes the word mercy
We are saved not by our good works or by our own personal righteousness but by the mercy of the Lord upon us.
Finally comes the word abundantly
What God has done is no small and petty thing but is gracious and large and abundant.
