"It is so crazy to me that the picture and message I posted about Pawpaw Lindy last night has gone viral ... I love that the post is about Jesus. I love that every comment on that post is positive and singing praises to Him. I love that people are saying they now have hope for their lost loved ones. The glory is His." -Lindsey Robinson

[Faithwire.com] In a Facebook post that perfectly proves Isaiah 59:1, a great-great-grandfather accepted Jesus and got baptized, after decades of putting the decision on the back burner, out of sight and out of mind. (Image: via Faithwire)

The decision was spurred on as health issues began to mount and the reality of our own mortality as humans consumed his mind. He started contemplating the bigger picture and had a dire realization about the fate of his soul. He ultimately chose to accept Christ and get baptized, as his great-granddaughter explained in a sweetly beautiful Facebook post:

"Pawpaw Lindy is, like Darnell said tonight, a good man. He is honest and has always tried to do right by everyone. He has always worked. He has farmed. He has gone to Sardis and been a member for a LONG time. He has been married to Mawmaw Margie for over 70 years. He has raised a large and decent family: 3 children, 7 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.

But, also like Darnell said tonight, being/doing good won't get you to Heaven. ("For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." -Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV)

So, last week, at the age of 90 (91 this coming Sunday), Pawpaw Lindy got saved.

Tonight, he was baptized.

God is good, y'all!
