About this episode
Jesus reveals salvation through grace alone in His second statement from the cross, offering immediate paradise to a repentant thief who simply asked to be remembered. • Two thieves beside Jesus represent two approaches to faith - demanding proof versus seeking grace • The repentant thief acknowledges his guilt and Jesus' innocence • Salvation illustrated perfectly - the thief couldn't perform religious duties but received salvation through faith alone • Ephesians teaches we're saved by grace through faith, not by works • Powerful illustration about heaven's entrance: "The man on the middle cross said I could come" • Your spiritual resume doesn't matter - only Jesus' invitation counts • Anyone who calls on Jesus' name receives salvation 100% of the time If you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five-star rating and review.
