Question 35
Since we are redeemed by grace alone, through faith alone, where does this faith come from?
Titus 3:4–6
But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 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, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior.
But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior.
Prayer
Lord God have mercy on us, and by your Holy Spirit open our eyes to see the glory of the cross. Amen.
