Like the robber (Filotheos Zervakos)

Through repentance we receive a second baptism and are cleansed of the sins we’ve committed after baptism. When we repent, when we acknowledge our iniquities and decide not to commit any more sins, to hate them, we immediately received forgiveness of our transgressions and from being sinners, from one moment to the next, become righteous, like the robber [on the Cross] who gained paradise because he repented.
