But to him that worketh not, but
believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for
righteousness. (Romans 4:5)
The thief had nails through both
hands, so that he could not work; and a nail through each foot, so that he
could not run errands for the Lord: he could not lift a hand or a foot toward
his salvation; and yet Christ offered him the gift of God, and he took it. He
threw him a passport, and took him with Him into paradise.
