Salvation is accomplished through one thing only: the person and work of Jesus Christ. Yet while our regeneration occurs in an instant, spiritual growth is a process that God completes over the course of a lifetime. Alistair Begg shows us how crucial it is that we don’t just know about Christ, but that we actually know Him—that we are not just religious but truly saved.
1Remind them xto be submissive to rulers and authorities, yto be obedient, to be ready for every good work, 2zto speak evil of no one, ato avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and bto show perfect courtesy toward all people. 3For cwe ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. 4But when dthe goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5he saved us, enot because of works done by us in righteousness, but faccording to his own mercy, by gthe washing of regeneration and hrenewal of the Holy Spirit, 6whom he ipoured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7so that jbeing justified by his grace we might become kheirs laccording to the hope of eternal life. 8The saying is mtrustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful nto devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people.
