Titus 3:4-5 (NLT)
4 But—“When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, 5 he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.
The Apostle Paul writing to Titus explains how great God’s love is towards us. God’s redeeming salvation is not given to us because of what we do, but instead it is given to us because of who God is. God is merciful and He desires for our sins to be removed so that we may receive Christ into our lives to live the hope of present and eternal life free from sin.
Too many Christian’s constantly walk around feeling guilty about their sins. They become a burden and if carried long enough will bring about shame. God’s forgiveness is greater than any sin we can commit. Christ has already paid the debt for all of man’s sin. So who are we to place ourselves above God and say, “Surely God can’t forgive me for what I have done.” The truth is God will forgive, He does forgive and He forgets. It says of God in Hebrews 8:12, “And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.” Stop carrying the burden and shame of sin. Confess it to God knowing God will put it in the past forever.
