Today’s Thought “Overwhelmed in Soap Scum” G. Ward

 

Titus 3: ⁵ He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we did in righteousness, but in accordance with His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit.

 

There’s a complete spiritual cleansing and brand-new life God gives a person through Jesus Christ; and this metaphor describes a deep, spiritual cleaning that removes sin. This renewal given believers, refers to the ongoing, life-changing work of the Holy Spirit inside a believer. The Spirit does not just patch up an old life; He continually transforms and molds the person into a new creation.

We’re given a complete spiritual cleansing by ALL Christ offered, that is HIS very life in exchange for our punishment and whereas HIS Spirit (Ro.8:9) exists in believers, enabling us to discern the Truth of God’s Word (1 Cor.2:14), may we consider HIS transforming us by/through a daily pursuit of how Christ correlated in the earth; for HIS perfect example will guide us onto greater peace in the many trials presented.

 

And Lord God, we’re adjusting daily to counting it joy when trials invade our moments, for we know You as a Mighty Shelter and absolutely more depend on Your ongoing presence to carry us through. We pray on today, for other believers – vulnerable to being grievous in their soul; that they’d witness a fellow believer coming to their aid, walking alongside them until trouble diminishes and then become productive witnesses altogether, proclaiming Christ as our All in All, Amen.
