We Are saved By His Mercy

Scripture Titus 3:5 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,

Observation: I understand that it is not by good works we are saved but only by God’s mercy through the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus. God however calls us to do good works after we are saved, we are not just to sit by after we received the gift of salvation. Jesus calls us to earn rewards, He wants us to be good and faithful servants and to bear fruit by being obedient to our calling. Good works isn’t for our salvation, but shows our obedience to do the will of the Father.

Application: Each day to continue to search for what God has called me to do. Take time to listen when I pray. Currently God has called me to walk and pray with others at the beach and He always shows me that I’m on the path he chose for me. However, I need to always be open to do anything else that He tells me to do.

Prayer Dear Father thank you for the opportunities You have given me to do the things that please you. May I always be ready to do what you call me to do and that I will always do it with joy in my heart.
