Heir of Salvation...





he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. -Titus 3:5-8



This is probably my favorite hymn. I love the first verse especially. It tells us who we are as Christians. No longer heir to sin and this fallen world, we are heirs of salvation, God's children. This has occurred because we have been born again to new life through the Holy Spirit. This is able to happen because of the gift of Jesus' blood that washes away our sins. Just as Hosea bought back his wife, God has bought us back with the blood of his son. Such love...
