Devote Ourselves in Doing Good
These verses are from Titus 3.
At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived 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 Savior 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 Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.
--- Titus 3:3-8
We were saved by His mercy, not because of the righteous things we had done. He saved us through the renewal of the Holy Spirit. And nothing more we can do for Him, just devoting ourselves in doing what is good. He has already been so kind to us, it’s our duty to devote ourselves to Him by doing good things. (-fon-)
