Regeneration



Mere outward reformation differs as much from regeneration as white-washing an old rotten house differs from pulling it down and building a new one in its place. Augustus Toplady

But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 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 3:4-7).

Jesus the Savior

Good morning!

The terrors of law and of God with me can have nothing to do; My Saviour's obedience and blood
Hide all my transgressions from view. ---- Augustus Toplady

Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit. I acknowledged my sin to You, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD," and You forgave the iniquity of my sin (Psalm 32:1,2,5; cf. Romans 4:7-8).
For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more (Hebrews 8:12).
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (I John 1:9).

She will bear a son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins (Matthew 1:21).
