Condemned by Men, Saved by God

The repentant criminal on the cross had no time for good works, no opportunity to reform, yet Christ promised him paradise that very day. Through Scripture and even the mocking words of others, God's Word created faith in this dying man's heart, demonstrating that salvation comes entirely by God's grace to even the most morally reprehensible. His story assures us that Christ's grace reaches the most broken sinners and is still freely offered to us today.
