Salvation can’t be earned it’s the Free Gift of God.

People mock and call it "the bare minimum" but it is the bare maximum.

I don't deserve you Jesus. Thank you for saving me.

I am believing in OSAS and I was so vehemently against it. However, you have cleared up so many confusing scripture by differentiating the discipleship/service/servant (works) from the salvation - no works. So many things fell into place for me. I’m reading the New Testament in a new light.
Thank you

By grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone❤

[FuegoSavvy]

This is undisputable proof that salvation is by faith alone. Great vid, God bless

[rob-bible-talks]

Amen, not our works, but HIS Work. Blessings 😊

Orthodox will say he was an exception because he had not time left to do good deeds, not realizing we are all the thief on the cross.

I speak about the thief on the cross, all the time: he never repented all of his sins, he never got baptized, he never had a multi tiered proving point to show that he was saved he believed the pond the Lord Jesus and Jesus declared that he would see him in Paradise

[pitaohumphrey]

Thank you my brothers in christ for preaching the real gospel and made everyone save

[ElizabethWells]

I love it that you used the word "Repented" to describe what the thief on the Cross did, that he "changed his mind" about who Jesus was. God's Holy Spirit has brought this word to my attention and I'm hearing Pastors and people everywhere say it "Repent" mean to turn from your sins. The Repent of your sins False Gospel. I'm sending everyone I know your and others videos of this word to help them understand the correct of these words in the King James Bible text.
Thank you so much.
Also, today I'm a happy woman, I finally got through on your Patreon. I think the problem was my bank card.

"To him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his FAITH is counted for righteousness" - Romans 4:5, Faith without works equals righteousness, aka faith alone righteousness.

I am amazed at how vehemently people insist on adding to the perfect work and sacrifice of our Savior.

[iamachildofgodbecauseibeli]

Amen 🙏 brother in our Lord Jesus Christ ✝️ God bless

[Matt-nhhp]

It’s funny to me(in a sort of tragic way) that the biggest refutation of works based salvation is so often overlooked or outright ignored.

[dylansandoval]

Amen 🙏 this is the ultimate example of saved by grace through faith apart from works 🙌

[MangerThings]

What an incredible reminder of God's boundless grace! The thief on the cross is a perfect example of how faith alone can save us, even in our final moments.

[jacoborr]

Great video brother! Keep spreading that good news!

Many Christians fail to realize that the thief on the cross was able to enter paradise through faith alone because he was still under the old law. The law of sin and death (Ezekiel 18:4) Jesus' death and resurrection broke the old law of sin and death, but at that moment, He had not yet died, so the thief was still under the old covenant and was able to be saved. Under this old law, baptism was not required for entering heaven; belief and the sacrificial system of goats and oxen for sins were sufficient. For instance, neither Moses nor Elijah were baptized, yet they still entered paradise. This is how the thief was able to enter paradise.

However, after Jesus' death and resurrection the old law was broken and replaced. Romans 8:2 says, "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death." We are now under this new law. Jesus also told Nicodemus that to enter the kingdom of heaven, one must be born of water and the Spirit—highlighting the necessity of baptism in this new covenant.
