For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, despicable, hating one another. But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but according to his mercy, through the water of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. This Spirit he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (Titus 3:3-7, NRSV)
We have all fallen short and daily continue to fall short of the life we should be living through Christ!
Yet it is not about us doing it right or getting it right. It is about us believing in the promise and living a life of faith, faith grounded in the grace and love of Christ. Because we are made new through the cleansing waters of baptism and renewed by the Holy Spirit.
He poured out His Spirit into our lives through Jesus Christ, and justified us by grace as a gift.
So we can live in the hope through faith!
