~ From Lost Sinner to Saved Saint ~
Introduction ~ The epistles in the New Testament make it clear that Christians are saints. What follows is an easy to remember road map.
Ruined by Sin ~ “For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:22b-23). …
Redeemed by The Savior ~ “… For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood” (Romans 3:23-25a).
Regenerated by The Spirit ~ “For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life” (Titus 3:3-7).
