Titus 3:5-7

5God did not save us because of any good things that we ourselves had done. He saved us because he chose to forgive us. God has washed us so that we are clean inside. We have been born again, so that we live a new life. God's Holy Spirit has done this for us.

6Jesus Christ died as a sacrifice to save us. So now God has poured his Holy Spirit into us, to fill us.

7Because God is very kind, he has accepted us as right with himself. As a result, we know that we will receive the good things that God has prepared for us. We know that we will live with God for ever.
