We must alter our lives in order to alter our hearts, for it is impossible to live one way and pray another.

From 1 John 1:8-10:  “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.  If we confess our sins, He who is faithful and just will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.”
