Even the best of men are included in this indictment. They, too, often ignore basic truth and presume on God's generosity. God is the impartial Judge, knowing all men's secrets. No amount of religious activity can change or hide the facts of the heart. A new birth is required.
Regeneration is offered.
Even a personal history steeped in the religion of the ancient Scriptures does not avoid the issue of genetic irrelevancy. It is the blood of God, shed on the cross, that will hide one's sins. In all of history, nothing else has worked. This is the music of the Old Testament. This was the experience of the fathers of our Faith.
