What Happens After Death Part 5



Continued from page 2

Even to the dying thief when he repented and believed, Jesus said, 'You will be with me in paradise.'

The fact that the Lord said this to a wicked man who was now truly sorry, but who had no opportunity now to live a good life, demonstrated that it is by free grace you can be saved. Yes, it is Christ's sacrifice which saves the believer. His suffering on the cross has won forgiveness from God for all your sins. Sing with John Newton:

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me,
I once was lost but now I'm found,
Was blind but now I see.
