The thief on the cross, simply said "Remember me when you come into your kingdom." Not "I repent", Not "Oh please forgive me my wrongs." "I'll make it up to you" He just had, what it takes for any one of us-----Faith. Christ said to him "Today you will be with me in paradise." God is not out to get you, You will only go to hell, if you reject God's sacrifice on your behalf.
All sin and fall short. No body makes it on merit points.
We all make it on grace---which means undeserved favor, you cannot earn it or deserve it.
It's not your "Im sorry" that saves you, it is Christ's sacrifice. This is obviously for believers, if you dont believe I respect your right to make the choice, so don't feel preached at. Did Christ Condemn the man who did not come right out and pray or say he was sorry?
