Titus 3: Not Good Enough
Consider: Titus 3
If you haven’t gotten it already, you’re not good enough. You’re just not. I’m not either. None of us are. If we were than Jesus’ death would have been pointless. It seems so often we try, try and keeping trying to prove something to God that we’re good enough to get into heaven, but the fact is, we’re not.
In Titus 3: 5-6, this is what Paul says about not being good enough:
“He saved us, not because of the good things we did, but because of His mercy. He washed away our sins and gave us a new life the Holy Spirit. He generously poured out the Spirit upon us because of what Jesus Christ our Savior did.”
Check out a few bits from that passage:
- He saved us, not because of the good things we did
- It’s all because of His mercy
- He generously poured out His Spirit on us because of Jesus
It doesn’t say “He sparingly poured out His Spirit”… or “once we got our act together, He poured out His Spirit”… no. It says He generously poured out His Spirit because of Jesus and what He did for us.
Today, rest in the fact that you’re not good enough. May be an odd way to look at it, but it’s the truth.
