GOD SAVED US BY HIS OWN COMPASSION
Remind your people that it is their duty to be
obedient to the officials and representatives of the government; to be ready to
do good at every opportunity; not to go slandering other people or picking
quarrels, but to be courteous and always polite to all kinds of people.
Remember, there was a time when we too were ignorant, disobedient and misled
and enslaved by different passions and luxuries; we lived then in wickedness
and ill-will, hating each other and hateful ourselves.
But when the kindness and love of God our saviour for
mankind were revealed, it was not because he was concerned with any righteous
actions we might have done ourselves; it was for no reason except his own
compassion that he saved us, by means of the cleansing water of rebirth and by
renewing us with the Holy Spirit which he has so generously poured over us
through Jesus Christ our saviour. He did this so that we should be justified by
his grace, to become heirs looking forward to inheriting eternal life. Titus 3: 1-7
