Might be Redeemed?

Titus 2:14 NKJV

who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.

          We see that this verse says "might" instead of "will". Though this flies in the face of universal atonement, lets digress and look at its most simplistic of implications. It says He gave Himself for us, that He "might" redeem us. Well wait a minute, the Lord said "it is finished". What is this "might" redeem us thing all about? One might gloss right over this but we should understand that it authenticates all other scripture.
          For grace we have been saved "through faith", for whosoever "believes" in Him will not perish and everyone who "calls" on the name of the Lord will be saved. This "might" is conditional. Though His love, crucifixion, and resurrection for us was an unconditional act. We are saved only through the condition that we except who He is. We must believe that we are in need of a savior and that Jesus is the son of God who came to save us.
          Therefore, "He might redeem us", is a conditional statement. We must first empty our self and acknowledge the need of a savior in order to be redeemed. If you have not excepted the Lord yet as your personal savior, then follow me in this prayer:
            "Heavenly Father, thank you for sending your Son. Thank you for bearing the cost of my sins. Thank you for dying on the cross on my behalf and rising again. I see now that I am a sinner and in desperate need of your saving grace. Please live in my heart and start an eternal relationship with me. Please forgive me for all my inequities. From this day forward I will live for you. Abide in me Lord, so I may worship you for all eternity. Amen!"
