Last first; first last (parable)
This is my favorite parable in the Bible. It talks about how people will make it into Heaven, if they have to make it at the last minute, or their last breath; ex: on their death bed, if they just gave they life to Christ right BEFORE they died. Look at the thief on the cross, perfect example here; so being baptised in water, the Holy Spirit, all matter, but the ONLY 100% requirement to be SAVED is by grace ( Eph 2:8 ), the water doesn't save you, grace does; there are 3 baptisms 1.salvation ( Rom 10:9-10: Jn 3:16 ) 2. Holy Spirit ( Lk 3:16 ) 3. water ( Matt 28:19 ), so the benefit to LIVING for God NOW because this is true is we get rewards when we get to Heaven ( Matt 5: 12 ; 1 Cor 3: 13-15 ) so don't let temporary pleasure keep you from a eternal reward ( Matt 20: 1-16 ) God bless!
