''By [[Graham Llewellyn Grove]]'', December 2003, [http://docs.google.com/View?docid=ddn4v5jr_61fpq6f5 Original article]
<small>''''Prologue:''' This article reflects some of the understandings that I came to as a young adult as I began to explore my faith more. When I wrote it, I was not aiming to insult people of a different viewpoint and nor was I at all suggesting that those who feel differently are somehow less Christian. Indeed, I believe that all people who sincerely trust and follow Jesus, whether from a Protestant, Catholic or Orthodox background, are part of God's family and part of the universal church. Likewise, I was not trying to claim that how a person lives and acts is not important - it is hugely important. In this article I was simply trying to explore my belief that God is so loving and merciful that, like for the thief on the Cross, regardless of what wrongs we've done, we can receive God's forgiveness and eternal life simply through putting our faith in Jesus, and nothing more is needed.''</small>
