Titus 3:7

7 That [hina] being justified by [dikaioo] his [ekeinos] grace [charis], we should be made [ginomai] heirs [kleronomos] according to [kata] the hope [elpis] of eternal [aionios] life [zoe]. KJV-Interlinear

7 that being justified by His grace we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. NASB

The action of Gods justice toward sin and death, has set us free. Gods (Jesus Christ s) work on the Cross, paid the price of sin. The punishment that Christ received in our place, while on the Cross, was the single act of justice which cleansed humanity from all sin.

And it was not by means of anything that any of us has done, or even could do, but by the work of God alone, which accomplished our freedom.

God did this based on His grace, His favor, in our behalf.God did this based on His love, His philanthropy, His generosity toward us.

God had a plan and still has a plan, for each individual person, and that includes you. His plan was and is, to make us perfect such that we could live in heaven, for all of eternity, with Him, in perfect security, in perfect happiness, in perfect prosperity, in perfect everything, forever, and ever, and ever.

And not only has He done this for us, but He has given us the full measure of His own power and resources, through the Holy Spirit.

And not only this, but God has gone even further to make each of us an heir, an owner (something that we do not have now), of the new universe and heaven combined, for all of eternity, and no one willever take it away from us.

An heir receives full ownership, free of encumbrances (in this case). And an heir receives it for all of his natural life. And in eternity since we possess eternal life, then our natural life will extend into forever.

And our hope, elpis, means confidence, not wishful thinking, but actual certainty that what God has promised, He will deliver.
