How To Save Yourself As A Sinner
Here's how --- You go back in time and undo all your sins and then henceforth live a perfect sinless life.
The first is impossible. You can't go back in time. Time machines are only real in real fantasies.
The second, that is, living a perfectly sinless life, is equally impossible. We are sinners by nature and we can't go against our nature. Sin just flows naturally from us.
Your only option? Here it is ---
Have all your sins, past, present, and future atoned and taken away by a Savior. Get yourself a perfect record in the sight of God through Someone who will act as your Substitute and Representative.
And the Lord Jesus is all that. He died for all our sins and He has perfect righteousness that can be ours by imputation if we trust in Him and what He did on the cross.
Don't save yourself! Have yourself saved by the Savior.
