Who is Jesus #48 (Savior Cont.)

"He saved us..." (Titus 3:5). Our Savior wasn't waiting on us to make the right move to be saved. Titus goes on to say that He saved us, "not because of righteous things we had done." When we were in our desperate "unsaved" position, there wasn't anything we could do that was good enough or powerful enough or strong enough or complicated enough or religious enough to even think about saving ourselves. Putting God in debt to us? - unthinkable!
Saving comes from Him and Him alone. He did it! That's why He wears the name. That's why we call Him, Savior!
It is not good works that "gets" me saved. It is being saved that motivates the good works (Eph. 2:10). The only thing I deserved was eternal separation from Him. He saved me!

Be Strong and Courageous,

L.T.
