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

Praise the Lord

“Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD.

“Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as

snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like

wool

In Isaiah’s time the views of how one interacts with the gods were very

different. The ancient gods were vengeful and unpredictable. But Isaiah

presents the Lord as one who wants to reason with us. The maker of

the universe is willing to humble Himself to help us see our faults and

need for forgiveness. This was as radical back then as it is today. When

we couldn’t understand God, He came to us in Jesus Christ to reason

with us and bring us back to Himself.
