Commentary

Commentary on Titus 3:7

Theological / Devotional

That. Or, “so that,” as a result of the “washing of regeneration” (v. 5).

Being justified. Literally, “having been justified,” on the basis of man’s surrender to God’s will for him. God regenerates only those whom He has justified; He forces no man’s will (see on Rom. 3:24).

His. Gr. ekeinos, “that one’s,” that is, “God our Saviour” (v. 4).

Grace. See on Rom. 3:24.

Heirs. As long as the Christian maintains his position as a son of God he possesses the joy of sharing with Christ the reward of the redeemed (see on Rom. 8:17). Should he deny his sonship to God and refuse to represent the principles of the Father, he would no longer be heir to the eternal inheritance.

Eternal life. See on ch. 1:2.
