Luk 23:39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
Luk 23:40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
Luk 23:41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
Luk 23:42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
Luk 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
Some say that Jesus never spoke of grace and faith and that was just from the mind of the Apostle Paul. Some wish to take out parts of the Bible, only accepting the words of Jesus. Actions speak louder than words. From the cross Jesus gave grace and salvation because of the faith of one of the thieves. That faith was centered on Jesus Christ. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ brought the grace of God to the son's of Adam through faith in Jesus.
Paul speaking by revelation in the Spirit of God wrote:
Eph 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Eph 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
In an atmosphere of unbelief, Jesus spoke the word's of his Father, God Almighty, and showed by his obedience the love, grace and truth of God. Jesus chose Paul to explain to us what Jesus had accomplished for us through the New Covenant. I believe the whole Bible and thank God for his grace and truth. I have great peace because of this. Do you have peace?
