God's Free Gift

Titus 3:4-7

 

Because of His Mercy

⁴ But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, ⁵ he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, ⁶ whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, ⁷ so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.

As we exchange gifts today, or before, (because there is so much going on when the gift exchange takes place), we might give some thought to these few verses which highlight the ultimate gift, God's kindness and Love in the Person of Jesus, who not only became one of us, but has enabled us to be reborn in the Spirit as a child of God. If God was so thoughtful and lavish in his love, can we not make it the goal and purpose of our lives to be the same?

Merry Christmas and God's generous gift of his Son be yours today and forever.
