Hello Everyone....
Want to contribute to the question of Today... "What's the faith of the their on the cross written in Luke 23:42-43 (part 4 of 7)
In understanding the truth of the Bible u have to consider the time element the Lord Jesus Christ said in 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 unto my Father. The Apostles have done greater things than thy Lord Jesus Christ, the works they did does not make them greater than the Lord Jesus Christ, the time element is the essence of what the Lord Jesus Christ mean, that u can do much greater works than he did becos he's going to the father.
The theif on the cross have only few minutes, he cannot join d congregation to sing hymns or praise God. Singing praises to the Lord is a good thing according to Psalms 92:1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: you cannot do that if u are d theif on the cross, that was why d faith of the theif on the cross was sufficient for him to obtain paradise because of its situation, giving another day the theif will do good works according to 2 Timothy 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
We have to do good works, the good works we do is not like a filthy rag in the sight of God because we do not do good works on our own according to Philippians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. To do God's will Christ must be in you otherwise you can not do God's will.
If we can do good works and righteousness that the Lord commanded us to do....we can do it because God is with us, we can't do it by ourselves.
Our good works is not a filthy rag in the sight of God and faith alone can't save us.
