The thief on the cross had no opportunity to clean up his life or prove himself. He simply believed in Jesus, and Christ promised him paradise. That same invitation is still offered today.
"To day shalt thou be with me in paradise."
Luke 23:42–43
We stand firmly on the authority of Scripture and the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our desire is not to change the message of the Bible, but to help churches become places where every person has the opportunity to hear it—where truth is spoken with grace, compassion, and the hope found only in Jesus Christ.
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Romans 10:13
