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;
No fue porque hiciéramos suficientes buenas obras o cumpliéramos todos los requisitos, Dios nos salvó puramente porque es misericordioso. Él nos lavó y nos hizo completamente nuevos por medio de su Espíritu.
Dios nos salvó por su misericordia, no por nuestras buenas obras, lavándonos y renovándonos por su Espíritu.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the first century AD, the Apostle Paul wrote his letter to Titus, a young church leader on the island of Crete, to provide instructions on church organization and to combat false teachings that emphasized human effort in gaining favor with God. This verse highlights the core Christian doctrine that salvation is a result of God's mercy alone, not any righteous acts we perform, which was a direct response to the legalistic influences from Jewish traditions and emerging heresies in the early church. It underscores the New Testament's emphasis on grace as the foundation of faith, contrasting it with the works-based righteousness prevalent in surrounding cultures.
