One deed of repentance and the one thief on the cross was saved.

One deed of repentance and the one thief on the cross was saved.


The scene of the cross…

And when they had crucified Him, they parted His garments among them, casting lots; and they sat and watched Him there. And they set up over His head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. Then are there crucified with Him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left. And they that passed by railed on Him, wagging their heads, and saying, you that destroys the temple, and builds it in three days, save Yourself: if You are the Son of God, come down from the cross. In like manner also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, He saved others; Himself He cannot save. He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on Him. He trusts on God; let Him deliver Him now, if he desires Him: for He said, I am the Son of God. And the ROBBERS also that were crucified with Him cast upon him the same reproach...Matthew 27:35-44.


And the soldiers also mocked Him, coming to Him, offering him vinegar, and saying, If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself. And there was also a superscription over Him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. And one of the malefactors that were hanged railed on Him, saying, Are not you the Christ? save Yourself and us. But the other answered, and rebuking Him said, Dost you not even fear God, seeing you are in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said, Jesus, remember me when you come in thy kingdom. And He said unto him, Verily I say unto you, To-day shalt you be with Me in Paradise...Luke 23:36-43.


What was Jesus of Nazareth’s message, when he was here on earth before He was delivered unto the death of the cross?

Mat 4:17, “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”


It is written the robbers plural reproached Jesus…then one of them stopped the madness by repenting and speaking up and gained an entrance into Heaven through one death bed deed of repentance. Have you any deeds of repentance like the thief on the cross? One deed of repentance in faithful obedience to Jesus message repent for the kingdom of God is at hand saved a thief condemned to die.


Prayer

Father please grant us repentance where needed so we can change and be like You, please meet our soul’s deepest needs so we can overcome the temptations of today…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Three things Jesus gives His children who practice the truth...


As a Christian do you have a sound mind…wisdom…and drink from the water of life?


For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind...2 Timothy 1:7. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed...James 1:5-6. And He said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be His God, and He shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death...Revelation 21:6-8.


Jesus is the truth the life and the way he wants you to have a sound mind so you can behave properly and make sound decisions. He will give you enough wisdom to be wise unto salvation in every situation. Your part is you have to practice the truth and ask for wisdom. He will also give to whoever asks drink from the water of life. Sound like good news?


Jesus leads us with the truth but you have to practice the truth. Jesus said you will know the truth and truth will set you free. So walk and talk in the truth and you will be light in the world reproving and avoiding the darkness of the evil one.


Prayer

Father please give us a sound mind which cannot be corrupted, and enough wisdom to be wise unto salvation in every situation, and fill our cups with the water of life, please meet our soul’s deepest needs for repentance so we can overcome this world and our past mistakes, we renounce satan and sin in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Speak where God has spoken and be silent where God has remained silent...have a it is written vocabulary...

Speak where God has spoken and have a…it is written… vocabulary for unity and peace.

God forbid: yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That you might be justified in your words, And might prevail when you come into judgment...Romans 3:4. Jesus said… Sanctify them in the truth: Your word is truth...John 17:17. Now I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment...1 Corinthians 1:10.


We will be judged by Jesus and His Apostle’s teaching…

For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without the law: and as many as have sinned under the law shall be judged by the law; for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified...Romans 2:12-13. So speak you, and so do, as men that are to be judged by a law of liberty. For judgment is without mercy to him that hath showed no mercy: mercy glories against judgment...James 2:12-13. For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries. A man that hath set at nought (nothing) Moses' law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses: of how much sorer punishment, think you, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?...Hebrews 10:26-29.


Speak where the bible speaks and be silent where the bible is silent…

Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth...2 Timothy 2:15. Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness: that the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work...2 Timothy 3:16-17. For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest unto God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences...2 Corinthians 5:10-11.


Prayer

Father help us speak where You have spoken and be silent where You have remained silent, help us to remember Your Son’s teaching of truth and practice it faithfully, please meet our soul’s deepest needs and show us mercy, grace, peace, joy, and love…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
