The Washing of Regeneration
Salvation is a remarkable gift from God. When He sees our humble repentance for our sins and our faith in Jesus as Lord, He bestows this great gift on us by His grace. He accomplishes our salvation my the power of the Holy Spirit to wash us from our sins and our past life and to renew us as new creations in Christ. (Titus 3:4,5) That is the greatest transformation possible for any person, and it enables us to follow Christ into having the abundant life.
The washing of regeneration does not mean we become perfect. It is like a new baby being born into this world. One of the first tasks is to wash the baby. Well, we we are regenerated or born again by the Spirit, He washes us as new babes in Christ. We get a new, fresh start on life without the baggage of sin. We are renewed, so that we are not destined to think according to the ways of this world, but we can seek the Lord, know His mind, and live in righteousness before the Lord, as we listen to Him and obey Him. What a fabulous gift which is available to all of us because of the kindness and mercy of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Tomorrow, I intend to read Hebrews 2-4.
