I am thinking of Titus 3:5. It says, “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit.”
That brings me to Ephesians 2:2. It helps us remember where we came from ~ bound to satan’s slave block of sin. It says, “In which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience.” A sin-filled lifestyle was all we knew.
Then verse 4 says, “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us.” Jeremiah 31:3 says, “…Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.”
Ephesians 1:7 says, “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” Philippians 4:19 says, “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
