Introduction: We often attempt self-improvement, yet Titus 3:4–5 reveals that only God’s mercy produces genuine spiritual rebirth.
1. Our inability to earn salvation proves transformation cannot originate in righteous human works (Titus 3:5).
A. Fallen people may reform outward behavior, but no achievement can create spiritual life or merit salvation.
2. God’s appearing goodness and loving kindness establish mercy as the true source of salvation (Titus 3:4–5).
A. Because God acts as Savior, our rebirth rests upon his unwavering character rather than unstable performance.
3. The Spirit’s regenerating washing and renewal accomplish the inward transformation God’s mercy intends (Titus 3:5).
A. Therefore, dependence upon the Holy Spirit supports the thesis by replacing self-reliance with God-given life.
Conclusion: Abandon confidence in personal righteousness, receive God’s merciful salvation, and daily seek the Holy Spirit’s renewing power.
