A Trustworthy Saying

I'm memorising this passage so I thought I post it which will probably help me to memorise (obviously without looking at my bible or any online/audio bible! :D).

Paul also said that these things (he is refering to the passage) are excellent and I remember in Phillipians 4:8 that we ought to think such things. So here is our amazing hope:

"At one time, we too were foolish, disobedient, decieved and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But, when the kindness and love of God our saviour appeared, He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our saviour. So that, having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life." (Titus 3:3-7, NIV)
