We have seen that nothing on earth can alter or mend the human heart, which is the essence of our character; therefore, moral corruption is irreversible. Neither religion, the government, philosophy, tradition, or human wisdom can change it.
Only Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross have the power to transform our hearts. The condition of this transformation, however, is true repentance on our part: “Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord” (Acts 3:19). Jesus’s work on the cross cleanses us from our moral corruption, but only if we recognize our sins, repent of them, and trust in His sacrifice on our behalf.
