Hello everyone!
I want to contribute to the question: What is the faith of the thief on the cross written in Luke 23: 42-43? (Part 4 of 7)
John 14; 12,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go into my Father.
Time element is very pertinent in understanding the Bible truth.
Jesus had a little time to work here on earth.
The thief on the cross had a limited time, to do any good work from that time of his crucifixion.
Singing Praises to God is a good thing
According to Psalm 92: 1,
it is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord and to sing praises unto thy name, or most High
So he couldn't join any congratulations to sing to God.
If the thief was given a day or months, he will do good works to accompany his faith inorder to obtain paradise.
II Timothy 3:17
That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Our God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which you have showed towards his name according to Hebrew 6:10.
Thank you
