In this sermon by Pastor Snook from Titus 3:4–8, we are reminded as believers to continually remember two truths: who we once were - and who God is.

Paul highlights God’s transforming attributes—His love, mercy, and grace. God’s love is most clearly seen in the cross, where He acted to save sinners. Salvation is not earned by human effort but given through His mercy, described as God’s compassion toward the miserable. Through grace, believers are justified in Christ; what the Law could not accomplish, Christ fulfilled. Because of these gifts, Christians become heirs of God, receiving undeserved favor like Mephibosheth welcomed to David’s table.

Remembering God’s character should shape how believers live. Sound doctrine should produce gratitude that results in good works. Christians are called to remain faithful in dark seasons of suffering by leaning into the Shepherd, and in delayed seasons of waiting by trusting God’s timing. Ultimately, remembering who God is transforms hardship into hope and motivates a life that reflects His glory.
