Send us a textThe story of the thief on the cross reveals what might be the most powerful picture of salvation in scripture. Despite his guilt and impending death, this criminal received immediate forgiveness and the promise of paradise through simple faith in Jesus.What happened on that cross wasn't merely a historical event—it was a living demonstration that salvation comes solely through grace. This criminal, who Matthew and Mark tell us initially joined in mocking Christ, experienced a profound heart change. With nothing to offer but repentance and faith, he uttered perhaps the simplest salvation prayer ever recorded: "Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom."Jesus' response cuts to the heart of the gospel: "Today, you will be with me in paradise." This promise reveals several transformative truths—salvation is instantaneous upon genuine belief, our past sins (no matter how severe) can be completely forgiven, and eternal life begins the moment we place our trust in Christ. The thief couldn't come down from the cross to perform religious works or make restitution. His salvation rested entirely on Christ's finished work.For believers today, this truth should both comfort and compel us. Our salvation doesn't depend on our performance but on Christ's completed sacrifice. Yet this also urgently reminds us that tomorrow isn't guaranteed for anyone. Like this thief, many around us are one heartbeat away from eternity. Will we boldly share the message that changed everything for a dying criminal and can do the same for anyone who believes?Don't treat Easter as just an annual holiday. Let the resurrection power become your daily reality and commission. As the risen Savior promised this repentant sinner paradise, He offers the same to all who turn to Him in faith. Have you made this decision? Now is the accepted time; today is the day of salvation. John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."If you haven't received Jesus Christ by Faith, as your personal Lord and Savior; I strongly encourage you to do so before it is eternally too late!!!If you need someone to pray with you please feel free to contact us here at Words From The Word Of God!!!Via:Email: [email protected] Phone: (864) 309-9087
