For all the life that the 'good thief' had lived, his life didn't deserve1 the reward of Eternal kingdom.
Nevertheless, his humility2 and perfect trust in God's loving mercy, counted more than a life of repentance, in the eyes of God.
1. didn't deserve it instantly. No one unworthy could instantly be taken into the 'Kingdom of God'.
2. Humility to acknowledge God; humility to revere God; humility to acknowledge his many sins.
May we Live our life in such a way, that the moment of death finds us in a state of humility; in a state of faith and loving trust in God's infinite Mercy.
