Grace is a gift that is freely given. God desires that all be saved, yet all are not saved. Faith without works and works without faith are both dead. Works alone will not get me into heaven, but and absence of works will probably keep me out.
Little is known of St. Dismas, the good thief, except for the narrative of the crucifixion. His works are a matter of speculation.
But not his name.
AMAZING!
Oh?
Then how did he BECOME a saint?
