From Scarlet and Crimson to White as Snow

 

“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord:

though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;

though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”

Isaiah 1:18 

We are sinners.

God is gracious.

He doesn’t whitewash what we are.

The verse above declares: “...though your sins be as scarlet...”

But in His great mercy He declares:

“...they shall be as white as snow...”

How is that possible?

Does God decide to wink at our sin and let them ‘slide’?

No, of course He doesn’t.

You see, He knew the price would be paid by His Son on the cross.

Though it was still a long way off – He knew it would be a completed work.

That which was filthy was made clean.

Not through ignoring or some cheap, easy way out but only through the blood of His Son, the innocent Lamb of God offered up for us all.

We are abundantly blessed when we realize and receive this free gift from God.

Is that you today?

Don’t reject what God has provided for you.

He declares:  “Come now, let us reason together.”
