Repentance: man's view vs The Bible

have you ever heard of Teshuva? I hadn't until I came across an article on a web site that was explaining the rabinic concept of repentance. It is interesting that the rabinic concept of repentance has to do with good works. Here is a quote from Rabbi Yonason Goldson's article. "Teshuva is a process of self-transformation, of changing ourselves into the kinds of individuals incapable of ever again committing our earlier transgressions and indiscretions. "

Have you ever looked in the Bible to see what G-d says of good works? "For thou, L-RD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. O L-RD, how great are thy works and thy thoughts are very deep."Psalm 92:4,5 Most of works in the Bible has to do with G-d's works. Only G-d can transform a person into a new creature when we have repentance toward G-d and faith toward our Messiah Yeshua. The Bible does mention our righteousness. "But we are all as an unclean thing , and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags, and we all do fade as a leaf: and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away." Isaiah 64:6

Given the choice of G-d changing me or depending on my own righteousness that is as filthy rags, I will choose G-d to change me. What will you choose?
