Luke 23 TS2009 v39 And one of the evil-doers who were hanged, was speaking evil of Him, saying, “If you are the Mashiach, save Yourself and us.” v40 But the other, responding, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear Elohim, since you are under the same judgment?
v41 And we, indeed, rightly so, for we receive the due reward of our deeds, but this One has done no wrong. v42 And he said to Yeshua, “Master, remember me when You come into Your reign.”
In Mattithyahu, the repentive thief did what 2 Corinthians 4:13 is teaching you how to apply the practice (Matt 12:37;15:11).
The thief on the cross did not have Torah. There was no Gospel written, so, he didn't have the Gospel.
He didn't receive the Holy Spirit. The thief had a repentive heart and the fear of the Elohim who caused these things to happen. He believed Yeshua was the King of the Yehuḏim and therefore (took action) he spoke, "Master, remember me, when you come into your reign."
The thief is a firsthand witness that these things happened, he witnessed the injustice [violence] done to Yeshua [Torah]. He felt the presence of YeHoVaH when he felt the earthquake, when darkness fell. He was nailed to a stake also, fully present and aware of everything that had taken place.
He had firsthand knowledge of the accusation, "Yeshua the Son of Elohim." He had knowledge of Yeshua coming back to rule over Yisra’ĕl.
The thief presented the sacrifice offering of praise to Elohim, the fruits of his lips in sincerity and truth (Matt. 12:32-37;Mk 7:20-23).
Hebrews 13🔎[v15] Through Him then, let us continually offer up a slaughter offering of praise to Elohim, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His Name.🔍
That is called 'Korban' (קרבן) a 'sacrifice' or 'offering' presented to the Almighty. His heart was complete towards YeHoVaH. It was acceptable to Yeshua our High Priest in the order of Malkitseḏeq. Which He then presents to YeHoVaH.
The word's root, "karav" (קרב), means "to draw near" or "to come close," a ritual act intended to bring us closer to YeHoVaH.
What the thief did do, was a righteous deed (tzedakah) as defined by the Torah. He glorified the Father, through his belief in the appointed and anointed Yeshua HaMashiach. The thief didn't keep these matters in his heart, he openly professed his belief with his mouth, he spoke (that is an action).
Yeshua will return as King, He will enforce the Royal Law of the land.
The King️ lays down the rules️ for those who desire to enter the Kingdom of YeHoVaH (Deu.6:4-9; Deu. 17:15-20).
What did He lay down? His life.
What did the Living Word lay down, the Torah. The Torah lays down the rules. The redemption and reconciliation was possible by the sacrificed life, and works of Yeshua--
to return us to worship and serve YeHoVaH.
To save us and to destroy evil once and for all in the future. But Yeshua expects us at this present moment TO BE faithful.
The fear of YeHoVaH is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Set-apart One is understanding (Pro.9:10;Psa,111:10).
1 Timothy 5:1-20 Now the goal of this command is love from a clean heart, from a good conscience and a sincere belief, v6 which some, having missed the goal (chattah, sin-chet), turned aside to senseless talk, v7 wishing to be teachers of Torah, understanding neither what they say nor concerning what they strongly affirm. v8 And we know that the Torah is good if one uses it legitimately, v9 knowing this: that Torah is not laid down for a righteous being, but for the lawless and unruly, for the wicked and for sinners, for the wrong-doers and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, v10 for those who whore, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and for whatever else that is contrary to sound teaching, v11 according to the esteemed Good News [Gospel] of the blessed Elohim which was entrusted to me.
v20 Among these are Humenaios and Alexander, whom I delivered to HaSatan, in order to be taught not to blaspheme.

YeHoVaH collects our tears (Psalm 56:8).
