On Ecclesiastes 9:10

Enjoy your life; do all that you can
with purpose
because you can’t live it again.

Embrace what you do with great zeal
and with joy.
Your life the Grim Reaper shall steal.

Don’t think that your life God will save
just like that
if good works you put off till your grave.

Enjoy your life under the covering and sanctification of Jesus! Yes, indeed. Now, the thief on the cross entered paradise when he believed. Hugs

This is great advice. Many think we don't need good works. How wrong they are.

Yep, many people become saints in their old age. My chanting neighbors. I go to the bar every now and then just to keep unhealthy balance.
