This bible study centers on Titus 3:5, emphasizing that salvation is God's work, not human effort. It highlights humanity's sinful state before salvation – foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to passions, malicious, and hateful. God's goodness and love appeared, saving people through mercy, regeneration, and renewal by the Holy Spirit, poured out through Jesus. This justification by grace makes believers heirs to eternal life. Pastor Anthony Uvenio stresses the importance of acknowledging the depth of one's sin to appreciate God's saving act. Salvation, or "sozo," restores humanity to God, a corporate effort within the body of Christ. Justification is a legal declaration of righteousness received upfront through faith in Jesus, unlike other systems that demand works first. Regeneration is a cosmic salvation, renewing and transforming individuals. God's actions—saving, justifying, regenerating, renewing, and making heirs—elicit gratitude and a surrender to Him. This salvation is rooted in God's character, love, mercy, and grace, not human merit. Even faith itself is a gift. #reformedtheology #titus3 #salvationbygrace #regeneration #HolySpiritRenewal #justification #eternallife #gospeltruth #repentandbelieve #bornagain
