Word of God
Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God
Matthew 4:4
The Gospel According to Luke 23:40
40 But the other answered, and rebuked him, saying, Fearest thou not God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
Brethren:
The other malefactor made answer to him, and reproved him for his baseness and wickedness saying, dost not thou fear God; or "neither dost thou fear God", any more than these priests, people, and soldiers, that are acting such a barbarous and inhuman part to a man in misery: and wilt thou do the same, and show that thou art an impious wretch, now thou art just going out of the world, and neither fears God, nor regards man, and art without compassion to a fellow sufferer, adding sin to sin, and undergoing the same sort of punishment, though not on the same account, which might be the reason why they suffered on the same day: for the Jewish law was that, they were never to judge (or condemn) two in one day, but one today, and the other tomorrow; but if they are in one transgression, That is to say if both were involved in the same crime during the same period of time.
For sins committed against the law; their sentence was just, and were righteously punished: which shows that he had a true sense of sin; for where that is, there will be not only an acknowledgment of the offence, but a vindication of the justice of God, should he proceed to deal according to the demerit of sin: for we receive the due reward of our deeds.
