“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,”
Titus 3:5-6 (NIV)
What a wonderful picture Paul gives us of baptism by the Spirit.
His language is water language yet it is salvation language.
Paul calls this a trustworthy saying and asks Titus to stress these things to the Christians Titus ministered to, because they are excellent and profitable for everyone.
Do you like to sit and soak?
Pour a deep bath and settle into it, feel the benefits of that water pushing on your skin?
Sit down in verses 4,5,6 &7 and let the Words soak in.
This is how He saved us- may we stress these truths to ourselves today.
