Following Someone Else's Path Does Not Mean that You Have Hit the Mark. Such Is A "Second-Hand" Life. What Is Required Is Repentance, A Changed Heart

The Answer is found not in repetoire, but righteousness; not in rallies, but relationship; not in representation, but repentence. The Answer is Christ Jesus living out His life in our mortal bodies to the glory of God the Father, through the power and presence of His Precious Holy Spirit. The Answer is only present as we do not deviate to the left nor right of His written Word, the Holy Bible. To Not Live According to His Written Word is to Miss the Mark!

The whole Bible [Old and New Testaments together] is about Christ Jesus!
As revealed in the entirety of the Holy Bible, He is the Truth that sets Captives Free! Be Not Ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as it is God's chosen means of bringing Salvation to everyone who wavers not, but trusts on His Name!
The Psalmist prayed,

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your unfailing love; according to Your great compassion blot out my transgressions.

Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.

For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.

Against You and You only have I sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You are proved right when You speak and justified when You judge.

Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.

Surely You desire Truth in the inner parts; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones You have crushed rejoice.

Hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity.

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Do not cast me from your presence or take Your Holy Spirit from me.

Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will turn back to You.

Save me from bloodguilt, O God, the God who saves me, and my tongue will sing of Your righteousness.

O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.

You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; You do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.

In Your good pleasure make Zion prosper; build up the walls of Jerusalem.

Then there will be righteous sacrifices, whole burnt offerings to delight You; then bulls will be offered on Your altar.

In the Name of Christ Jesus, I pray.
Amen.
