Will you get to heaven? The thief on the cross makes the answer to this question clear—this man had no works to offer and yet His salvation was only by the grace of God. Jesus is ready and willing to open the door of Heaven to anyone who does what the thief did; turn to Jesus in repentance. He asked Jesus to save Him: ‘Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.’ He trusted the promise that Jesus gave Him: ‘Today you will be with me in paradise.’ That’s something you can do right now.
