• Certainly the believer is the last man to justify himself. God justifies, instead of laying anything to the charge of His elect, who abhor themselves before Him, owning not only their sins, but their nature as vile and corrupt. They are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (Rom. 3:24). Here it is put as a fact emphatically. "Being, or having been, justified by His grace." It is already done. (“On Titus 3:7” by W. Kelly)
• In our text, Titus 3:7, we are directed to the source from which justification flows. It is the grace of God, and not any merit in its objects. (“On Titus 3:7” by W. Kelly)
• It is He Who made us His heirs; and we are to inherit what Christ will inherit in glory. To Titus the apostle speaks so as to leave us "heirs" all the more largely, because it is quite indefinite. (“On Titus 3:7” by W. Kelly)
• This life in Christ is the believer's now; but we have it in a body fall of weakness, compassed with infirmities, and in fact mortal. It will not be so when our hope is accomplished at the coming of Christ. Eternal life will be no longer hid with Christ in God, but manifested according to all the power of His glory (“On Titus 3:7” by W. Kelly)
• The antecedent of “that,” verse 7, is “the washing of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Spirit”; and that the sentence, “which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour,” is an accessory parenthesis introduced to show us that we have the fullness of the enjoyment of these things by the power of the Holy Spirit. (“Titus 3” by J.N. Darby)
