All paths lead to God, but only one path will present you before God without fault and with great joy. Pick a path, any path—it will take you to God. Trust me: you will stand before Him one day.

Sincere biblical repentance is as much a work of grace as not sinning in the first place. To err is human, to make progress is divine.
