Titus 3

Titus 3:5-8:
​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. 

​​"It is not just water" Martin Luther wrote, "but the word of God in and with the water does these things along with faith which trusts this word of God in the water." Luther was speaking of God's work in Holy Baptism. The text from Titus emphasizes this point well. God saves us through Jesus Christ given to us in baptism. We don't earn salvation through doing anything, even by being baptized but God works in baptism to make us heirs of all that Jesus has done.  --Gods Word for Today

Titus 3:10-14:
But you have fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue you in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing of whom you have learned them; ALL that live Godly in Christ Jesus SHALL suffer persecution.

​ That is one of those “promises” that gets left out many a “promise” list.

​The fruit from your life is how God receives His due glory on earth. (see also John 15:8)) .
