--ISAIAH SAYS IT WELL ~~~

----"Let Us Reason" ~~

-"Come now, and let us reason together, Says the LORD,
Though your sins are as scarlet,
They will be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They will be like wool." --[Isaiah Chapter 1 verse 18 /NASB] ~

~~The Miracle of White Snow ~~

--'Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.'
--[Isaiah 1:18]--

~~[PLEASE READ ISAIAH 1:15–20]

~~~In the seventeenth century, Sir Isaac Newton used a prism to study how light helps us see different colors. He found that when light passes through an object, the object appears to possess a specific color. While a single ice crystal looks translucent, snow is made up of many ice crystals smashed together. When light passes through all of the crystals, snow appears to be white.

The Bible mentions something else that has a certain color—sin. Through the prophet Isaiah, God confronted the sins of the people of Judah and described their sin as “like scarlet” and as “red as crimson.” But God promised they would “be as white as snow” (Isaiah 1:18). How? Judah needed to turn away from wrongdoing and seek God’s forgiveness.

Thanks to Jesus, we have permanent access to God’s forgiveness. Jesus called Himself “the light of the world” and said whoever follows Him “will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12). When we confess our sins, God forgives us and we’re seen through the light of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. This means that God sees us as He sees Jesus—blameless.

We don’t have to wallow in the guilt and shame of what we’ve done wrong. Instead, we can hold on to the truth of God’s forgiveness, which makes us “white as snow.”

~~"Heavenly Father, thank You for the forgiveness You freely offer. Thank You for dying on the Cross to forgive us of all our sins. We praise You and bless You for who you truly are. 'I AM'~ amen~"
