Lu 23:43 . “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

This statement of Christ on the cross gives the best of hope even to the worst of sinners. When the thief on the cross, believed In Jesus Christ and called upon the name of the Lord, his sins were instantly forgiven, he was reconciled to God and assured of eternity.

This is how powerful the cross is 

The joy of our faith-confession is that, Jesus has given us a promise to it. He calls it ASSUREDLY. In other words there is absolute certainty in the future of the believer. We cannot toy with our future. It is therefore extremely dangerous to follow any faith, religion or movement that does not give that level of certainty. There is no room for ‘Had I Known’. We cannot gamble with our eternity.

It is only Christ Jesus, who throughout Human history has been able to give that level of certainty for our future in eternity. Indeed when a person accepts Jesus Christ, in genuine repentance and confession of faith, there is an immediate assurance of eternity.

We only need to live on the confession of our faith.

Indeed, Christ in you is the hope of glory

To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: (Colossians 1:27)

Today if we hear the voice of the Spirit calling and we do not harden our heart and we surrender to the Lord, when Jesus comes we shall meet him in the air and shall be with him forever. Hallelujah

What singing there will be up there,
What singing there will be up there,
When face to face with Jesus we shall stand,
And join the heavenly choir in the  better land,
What singing there will be up there,
What glory for the  saints to share,
Oh glory, glory, glory,
What singing there will be up there,
