"The fact is that we humans need saving from our sins much more than we need political freedom or upgrading. Programs of education and technological or medical upgrades will never adequately deal with moral failure, because the root of that failure is a fundamental alienation from God. Christ offers to deal with that alienation by offering us salvation based on his death on the cross for our sins and on his resurrection.
But salvation is not conferred automatically. In order to receive it, we must have a radical change of mind; we must personally repent of the mess we have made of our own and other people's lives. We must turn away from sin and, as an act of our will and heart, trust Christ as Savior and Lord: 'To all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.'"1
