Titus 3v4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.

“Not because of righteous things we have done but because of His mercy.” That is a life long testament to our God. The reason we are given the hope of eternal life is not because we worked for it or that we act like a “good person” but it is due to the fact that God showed mercy to the world by sacrificing His only son who was blameless and pure for forgiveness of all our iniquities. It’s only by His mercy, His grace. All the reason to live a life of praise for we are underserving yet empowered by the kingdom of heaven.
