Titus 3:5 " Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and the renewing of the Holy Ghost".
here is nothing we can do to be saved except accept that which God has already made available for us. God so loved us that He gave that we might live. It wasn't because of how good we were or that we deserved or was worthy, it was solely out of His love for man and His mercy on mans condition.
It was while we were yet sinners that God commended His love toward us, and sent Jesus the Christ, the only begotten of the Father to die that we might have a right to the tree of life. We are not saved by any works of righteousness we have or can do, in fact any righteousness that comes from us is not of us but of Him who saved us. Remember we are a new creature IN Christ, meaning the righteousness that comes out of us comes from Him.
God with His mercy has allowed His holy spirit to make us a new creature through the washing of regeneration which is the work of the holy spirit in the life of the believer. Those who have faith are given a new nature, which now allows us to do God's will. This is all a gift of God's mercy on us. Jesus the mercy of God given to all who will believe.
