    Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing? Haven't you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. But put forth your hand now, and touch all t...

    You see then that by works, a man is justified, and not only by faith. In the same way, wasn't Rahab the prostitute also justified by works, in that she received the messengers and sent them out another way? For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead. James...

    However you are just in all that is come on us; for you have dealt truly, but we have done wickedly; neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept your law, nor listened to your commandments and your testimonies with which you did testify against them. For they have not ser...

Nailed It

  • One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, "If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!" But the other answered, and rebuking him said, "Don't you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong." He said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom." Jesus said to him, "Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise." Luke 23:39'43 WEB.

    Three men were stripped naked, beaten, nailed to a cross, and then lifted up for all to see and mock. Two of them were condemned thieves, while the One in the middle was Jesus Christ. Though they struggled to breathe, one of the thieves railed against Jesus and seemed only concerned with the moment. He had no concern or guilt over the things he had done in the past.

    The thief on the other side rebuked the first and said they were getting what their deeds deserved, but Jesus had done nothing wrong. This thief acknowledged that he had lived a life of sin. Then he spoke to Jesus and asked Him to remember him when He came into His kingdom.

    So both men were guilty, both men spoke to Jesus, but only one man was saved. After a life of crime, and while he was getting what he deserved, God had mercy on this thief because he asked. While breathing out his last few breaths, the man turned to Jesus and was saved.

    God is merciful, and no matter what you have done, things can be made right. Regardless of how long you have done it, it can be wiped away. A life of sin can be removed in a moment, even during your last breath. Though our sins are like scarlet, He will wash us as white as snow (Isaiah 1:18).

    It's never too late to make things right with your maker. Yet, like a wise investment, the earlier you begin, the greater your reward. So when you fall, get back up and take another step. God's door is wide open, and all are welcome today.

    Prayer: Lord Jesus, please forgive me, come into my heart, and be my Lord and Savior. Guide me from this day forth, and lead me into all that You have for me. I want to live my life for You and make every minute of it count. In Your name, I pray. Amen!

    Note: 'Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God.' (Philippians 4:6-7) ~ If you have a prayer need, we are here for you! We and the prayer team are ready to lift you up at our private prayer page: RHM Prayer Network
