He did not even fully understand that forgiveness of sins would come through the blood Jesus shed on the [[cross]]. Yet, he was saved. This shows that his salvation was not a common or general case. He was saved because Jesus Himself said: “Today you will be with Me in paradise.”<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+23%3A43&version=NIV |title=Luke 23:43 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> While others mocked Jesus, the robber on the right was the only one who defended Him while nailed to the cross. With His hands and feet bound, the only action he could take was to speak in Jesus’ favor—and that was the best he could do under the circumstances. In that extraordinary moment, the blessing of salvation was granted to him. However, for those who are able to keep God’s law, Jesus’ words clearly state: “Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life.”<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+6%3A54&version=NIV |title=John 6:54 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> This means that one must keep the Passover—the ceremony of eating and drinking Jesus’ flesh and blood—to receive eternal life.
