One of the criminals who were hanged there was hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!”
But the other responded, and rebuking him said, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?”
...
And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.” (Luke 23:39?43) ...
Some people cannot enjoy peace of heart even though they lead a diligent Christian life. It is not because they love God that they obey the Word, but because they keep it out of fear of punishment.
As a result, at some point, if they violate the Word, they lose their nerve. If you are like them, you must try harder to love God rather than to stick to the action itself.
As much as you realize the love of God who loves you to the point that He gave up His only begotten Son Jesus Christ on the cross, you will not only enjoy true peace, but you will love God and willingly obey His Word.
