“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 (NKJV)
Washing of regeneration: Ephesians 5:25-27(NKJV)
Jesus said, “If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates Me hates My Father also. If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father.” John 15:22-24 (NKJV)
Even now the teachings of Jesus and miraculous works done by Him marvels people. Some do not want to believe and accept Him as God so their sin remains in them, because they are not ignorant and innocent anymore. The truth is Jesus is God who appeared to all mankind and revealed Himself to save as many as possible, who put their trust in Him, not alone for worldly requirements, but also have eternal life, which He obtained through His death and resurrection. Jesus alone has immortality and can give to those who believe in Him. We should live a life with eternity in our minds.
Renewing of the Holy Spirit: 2 Corinthians 4:16-18(NKJV)
““But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me. And you also will bear witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning.”John 15:26-27 (NKJV)
All mankind need the Holy Spirit anointing, which God is ready to pour out abundantly to whoever asks. Without the power of the Holy Spirit it is impossible to understand and believe in God. Holy Spirit is the One who reveals in our spirit about God and our Saviour Jesus Christ and to be a good witness to others also. All got to desire the anointing, gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit. The Lord God is expecting all to thirst for His Spirit and go after leaving the earthly achievements, which is the devil’s distraction to make people become powerless and useless for God our Saviour. Even the twelve disciples of Jesus were powerless until they received the Power of Holy Spirit anointing from above on the day of Pentecost. Now those who have received the anointing must renew their anointing and use the gifts and produce much fruits for the glory of God.
““So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”” Luke 11:9, 13 (NKJV)
