Theme for the Week: JUSTIFIED THROUGH GRACE
Reading: Isaiah 1:18-20
_______________________
Isaiah 1:18(NIV)
“Come now, let us settle the matter,” 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.
There are many people who have the notion that some sin cannot be forgiven by God, but today's passage makes us understand that no matter the intense of your sin, it can be forgiven.
Are your sins like scarlet? Settle the matter with God! Are they red as crimson, so deep that looking at it scares you? Reason with the Lord God!
God is ever ready to reason together with you in order that the matter would be settled; what about you? If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land; so do not rebel.
God wants to hear it from you just as it is, so speak out boldly, no matter the nature of your sin, before the throne of God; He will not raise judgement, but will show mercy because of the grace He has made available in Christ Jesus.
Stay blessed.
Let's Pray:
Merciful Father, You show mercy to all people. Lord GOD, we come to You with our poor souls deep in sin, believing that You will wash and clean us to be as the snow and the wool. We stand on Your Word and renounce every evil deed before You; justify us through the grace in Jesus Christ. Amen.
