The story of the thief on the cross
39 One of the criminals who were hanged there was hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!”
40 But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 41 And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.”
42 And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!”
43 And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”

Could this be the shortest conversion in the Bible? One of the shortest Christian life ever. It certainly was one of the most unexpected.

Jesus Was The Christ, The Messiah Sent From God
The Christ, Jesus Excerpt: …son of Mary, son of Creator God the Father, God come in the flesh as a man. It was utterly astounding – the biggest event in the history of the universe:
Creator God Himself came down to earth as a human being. Because He loved us so much, He wanted to free us from His eternal punishment. So He came down, became a man, “God in the flesh”.
Acts 18:5
But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul began devoting himself completely to the word, solemnly testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
Saul of Tarsus, who later became the Apostle Paul – was arguably the most zealous, up-to-date, highly educated Jew of his era (Galatians 1:11-24, 2 Corinthians 11:21-29). He became convinced about Jesus – and wrote to show us that “Jesus was the Christ“. Jesus came to earth as the promised Messiah.
