What truly makes someone a Christian? Is it heritage, personal choice, good deeds, or even strong feelings? In this message from Titus 3:1–8, we explore the radical reality at the heart of true Christianity—the new birth. God, in his sovereign mercy, has rescued us not because of our works but by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ. This is more than a change of behavior; it is the life of God planted within us, making us heirs of eternal life and calling us to lives of humility, courtesy, and good works.
