day no. 14,523: no proxy

“Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying.” - Martin Luther

No man can believe or die for you. No man can make his belief your belief so as to excuse your lack of belief and no man can die your death so as to provide a way of escape from death for you. 

Hebrews 9:27-28
And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, 28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for Him.

No man except the God-man, Jesus Christ, that is. He lived the life we should have lived and died the death we should have died so that those who are drawn to Him can escape death and enter life everlasting. No man can do this for you. No parent or relative or pastor. Only Jesus.
