DO YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS?

Scripture: Titus 3:5 “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.”

    The Bible clearly tells us that we are saved by “faith”.  Ephesians 2:8 and 9 says, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not or yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”  It is our faith that makes salvation possible for us.  We are also told here that it is “the gift of God”.  Meaning that it is something that He gives that we cannot work for, pay for or for that matter, even deserve.  The gift of God is given unconditionally.  He expects nothing in return.  But while this is certainly true, we need to understand that it goes without saying that when the God of the whole Universe moves on the inside of a person’s heart, there will definitely be some feelings!
    One of the things that will cause us to feel something is the convicting power of the Holy Spirit of God!  When He begins to show us our sin, we will begin to feel sorrow for those sins and that feeling will lead us to repentance!  
    Another thing that will cause us to feel something is when He lifts the burden of our sins and forgives us of all sin, past, present and future!  There’s a clean feeling that replaces the guilt feeling when He saves us.  He washes over our soul and takes away every
sin and stain!  The songwriter said, “Oh happy day, Oh happy day, When Jesus washed my sins away!”  
    Still another thing that will cause you to feel something is the fact that His presence now lives within you and He will never leave us.  O what joy to know He’s living on the inside!  To know that the God who can do all things is with us every day! Oh, friend, do you know how it feels today to have your sins washed away in His precious blood?
