He saved us by washing (of the water of the word of God, Christ's seed. Ephesians 5:26, Galatians 3:29) of regeneration (spiritual rebirth) and by the Holy Spirit's renewing. (Making of a new man) Not by works or good deeds for our justification. The new man CREATED or made new by God after the image of the Creator. Colossians 3:10 #devotional #salvation #justification #Bible #Scriptures #faith
