Discover the transforming power of the Holy Spirit in today's episode of Strength for Today, hosted by Pastor John Blevins of Christ Church Presbyterian in Knoxville, TN. In this devotional, we explore Titus 3:3–7 and the profound truth that salvation is not just offered—it is applied by the Spirit of God.
This episode unpacks how the Holy Spirit personally applies the redemption purchased by Christ, regenerating hearts, renewing wills, and uniting believers to Christ. Drawing from the Westminster Larger Catechism Question 58 and the Westminster Shorter Catechism Question 29, we explore the theology of effectual calling in a way that is both biblical and accessible. Whether you are new to the Reformed faith or a long-time believer seeking to deepen your understanding of God's saving grace, this episode will bring clarity, encouragement, and conviction.
What You'll Learn: • Why the Holy Spirit is essential in applying salvation • What regeneration and renewal mean biblically • How God saves us not by works, but by mercy and grace • How to respond in faith to the gospel of Jesus Christ
