The final message written by the late “Dilbert” creator Scott Adams was posthumously released to the public on Tuesday shortly following his passing.

Adams, who died from cancer at the age of 68, reflected on his life, career and his conversion to Christianity, in which he stated that he accepts Jesus Christ as his lord and savior. He told his fans to continue on his legacy through his work.

“I accept Jesus Christ as my lord and savior, and I look forward to spending an eternity with him,” Adams said. “The part about me not being a believer should be quickly resolved if I wake up in heaven. I won’t need any more convincing than that. And I hope I am still qualified for entry.”

Adams opened up about how he changed his life following his divorce, telling his readers that he needed a new meaning in life. He celebrated the legacy that  his books left behind, including “Win Bigly,” which he said had a major impact on the world. His most famous work, “Dilbert,” debuted in 1989 and became a cultural fixture for its satire on office life, management culture and corporate bureaucracy.

Adams also said that his podcast, “Coffee With Scott Adams,” had been “dedicated to helping people think about the world, and their lives, in a more productive way.”

“I had an amazing life. I gave it everything I had,” Adams continued. “If you got any benefits from my work, I’m asking you to pay it forward as best you can. That is the legacy I want. Be useful. And please know I loved you all to the end.”

Adams faced backlash in February 2023 when he cited results from a poll asking respondents if they agreed with the phrase, “It’s OK to be white.” The results found that 26% of black respondents disagreed and another 21% were unsure. During his livestream, Adams referred to black Americans as a “hate group” based on the results and encouraged white people to “get the hell away” from them.

Adams later clarified that he was using hyperbole to make a point and disavowed racists.

Newspapers pulled “Dilbert” from publication after the livestream. Portfolio, a Penguin Random House imprint, canceled its plans to publish Adams’ self-help book, “Reframe Your Brain.” Andrews McMeel Universal (AMU), the former distributor of “Dilbert,” also terminated its relationship with Adams.

Many publications framed Adams in a negative light in response to his death, including People Magazine, which referred to the late author as “disgraced” in its headline. NPR and Deadline both referred to him as “controversial.”

Vice President J.D. Vance honored Adams as a “great ally” to President Donald Trump and the administration. The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh said Adams faced death with “clarity, courage, and honesty.”

Adams revealed on May 19 that he suffered from prostate cancer, and confirmed on Jan. 1 that his illness was terminal after he dealt with complications like lower-body paralysis and ongoing heart failure.
