Read Titus 1-3, Philemon 1
Titus 3:5 says, "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;" Being good all the time is exhausting. We get our behavior right and our attitude is bad. We get our attitude right and our thoughts are wrong. We get your thoughts under control and our behavior is called into question. We can’t seem to get the hang of perfection.
Fortunately, God knows our imperfections. He knows we are going to fail to meet His standards.
That’s why He sent Jesus to die for our sins. We declare ourselves righteous, not because we’ve done anything to deserve the title, but because God’s mercy has made us so when we accept Him and His gift of salvation.
