"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
Like the people of Israel we are a sinful people. We have done things God said for us not to do, and we have not done what He said that we should do.
The colors scarlet and crimson of red are suggestive of the guilt for the blood that is on our hands. As if we ourselves had killed someone. The white snow and wool represent cleanliness.
The Lord will pardon the guilty who desire forgiveness and want to be pardoned. He will clean us up as well as clean up our record. However, we must repent and ask for forgiveness.
Even though we are guilty as charged, we will be presented as white as snow. Only Jesus can cleanse us of our sins and present us to God, The Father, free from sin.
