----TRUST GOD'S TIMING ~~

-"The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."
—--(2 Peter 3:9)

Conversion can happen instantaneously. Some have a hard time believing that, especially when they hear of someone coming to faith who has committed a terrible crime.

They may say, “Well, isn’t that convenient? I doubt that person really has become a Christian.” Maybe not. But then again, maybe so. Conversion can take place instantaneously in any life.

It’s worth noting that both criminals who were crucified with Jesus heard Him say, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do” (Luke 23:34). Yet one believed and one did not. That is the mystery of the Gospel. One can hear the gospel proclaimed and say, “Yes, I believe that” and give his or her life to Christ. Another, hearing the same message, can be absolutely unmoved and continue in his or her sin.

Interestingly, one criminal started correcting the other, who had said to Jesus, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us” (verse 39). The Bible says he “rebuked him, saying, ‘Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong’” (verses 40–41).

Then he turned to Jesus and said, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom” (verse 42). Talk about being in the right place at the right time. Here was this man facing eternal separation from God, and he was crucified next to God incarnate, who pardoned him on the spot, absolved him of all sin, and was ready to take him into paradise with Him.

-God desires for people to come to faith, but He also has His timing. Our job is to be obedient and leave the results to God. Keep spreading His Word, it will not return unto Him void. ~~
**IN TOUCH~~**
[For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast."
--(Ephesians 2:8-9)
"That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
--(Romans 10:9-10)~~

-"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him."

-"He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." -(John 3:16,17,36 NASB~)]
