the choice is you die and start from scratch and dont mess it up this time. its called being born again. you put that old man to death and replace him with the word of god. you put on the mind of christ.
funny but the appearing of christ is a lot like the old Frankenstein movies. its up to you to gather up and put all the pieces together of the new person. then at christs appearing this new man who is without fault is raised up and made alive. we shall not all die.
