Lesson: Prayer for Mercy
Reading: Mercy is not due to righteousness
Reference: Titus 3:3-7

Titus 3:3: For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
Titus 3:4: But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
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 renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Titus 3:6: Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
Titus 3:7: That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
(KJV)
