The thief on the cross had not been baptized. The thief had not learned what the words sanctification, justification, and glorification meant. He would have had no time on earth to demonstrate a “changed” life or store up good works to outweigh his bad works. Yet, Jesus offered eternal salvation to the thief in the final hours of his life!
We must stay clear on who God is. In our study of Acts 13-14 we have seen that God is sovereign, love, longsuffering, merciful, all-powerful, and all-knowing. No matter what your circumstances seem to tell you, you know from God’s own word that He is these things. You know that sometimes your circumstances do not tell you the whole story about God, but that you must choose to trust God!
The list of changes could continue to be rehearsed for days to come and the impact of these changes will be felt for generations to come. The fact is change is inevitable. However, the change with the greatest impact is not enabled via technology. The change above any possible change is only found in Jesus!
