Today’s Verse:

“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.
If you are willing and obedient,
    you will eat the good things of the land;
 but if you resist and rebel,
    you will be devoured by the sword.”
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken. (Isaiah 1:18-20)

Today’s Message:

From before Jesus’ time, God was inviting His sinful people for a relationship with Him. His love is far greater than their sins.

But, it doesn’t mean that because God loves the sinners, He will tolerate the sin. It does not work that way. For love is not tolerant. Love does not leave you on the path of destruction. Love reaches out and transforms us to become better.

So, God made the way. He turned our sins from “scarlet to snow.” He made us pure through Jesus who paid the penalty of sin for us. We are now directed from eternal death to eternal life. In Jesus, we are free and reconciled to a loving relationship with our Almighty Father.
