The Bible is a book that accurately exposes human nature.

Humans…😥
They can adorn themselves beautifully on the outside and behave in a way that makes them appear virtuous in the eyes of others.
And they may gain a good reputation and be praised.
…However, God's word tells us that the inner self (heart) of a person is wicked, full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.😱
…Nothing in this world is more insidious than the human heart.
As far as we know, there are heinous fraud cases,
sexual crimes, and brutal murders…
Through these, we see how corrupt the desires of the human heart are…
However…the wickedness of the human heart can never be cured.😰
…Many people believe that "people can be reformed through effort."
However,
the Bible denies this.
Just as spoiled meat cannot be transformed back into fresh meat through boiling or roasting,
the human heart cannot be healed by any effort, no matter how arduous or ascetic practice.
...People can admit that they are sinners. And sometimes, they may shed tears in pain over their own sinfulness.
...So...is there a solution...🤔❓️
...Repent thoroughly before the cross of Jesus Christ✝️ and distance yourself from the evil path❗️
...There is no escape...except for the cross of Jesus Christ.
Shalom😃
