NEW BIRTH
He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but because of His mercy, by the cleansing of the new birth and renewing of the Holy Spirit, which He poured richly upon us through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Since we are now brought into right relationship with God by Christ’s blood, how much more, we shall be saved by Him from the indignation and wrath of God.
Since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through Him.
Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; Save me and I will be saved, For You are my praise.
The message of the cross is absurdity to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith- and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
But, because of His great love for us, God, Who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions- it is by grace you have been saved.
Not only is this so, but we rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom we have now received reconciliation.

For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
