Isaiah 1:18 ““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.”
Isaiah 103:8-12 “The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. 9 He will not always accuse, nor will He harbor His anger forever; 10 He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. 11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; 12 as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.”
1 John 3:20 “If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.”
God is greater than anyone of anything else. Oh praise God! We should never think of God in the same way we think of any human person or angelic being, and thereby limit Him. Oh what a joy and relief that is! What a blessing beyond all blessing to be a personal friend of Jesus the one God sent, He is Savior and Lord. (John 15:15) Since Jesus died for our sins, since we know that is true, than just as sure we know that we are His friends because He has confirmed that in John 15:13. All who love Him are personal friends of Jesus! Amazing!
What are the sins that we have committed? Rejection of Jesus as Savior and Lord? Murder (within the womb and outside of it), theft, lust, hatred, gossip, divisiveness, lying, leading the innocent astray, and more? There is no end to the depth of evil that we have done. And there is no end to the doing of it while on this earth. Yet, the Word says that God loves us while we were yet sinners, that is, before we repented and came to Him in tears. (Romans 5:8) The proof of His love was the incarnation, the death and the resurrection of Jesus. (John 3:16) If there were no other evidence of God’s love, the life, death and resurrection of Jesus is, itself, evidence enough of God’s love for us and His ability to save us.
So what sin have we done? What is the worst? What is the multitude? As horrible as they were, and are, the grace God gives to us is greater still. Yes, it is vital to know both God’s grace and also His holiness, we must know both to know Him. But here is the gist of it all. God loves us with a love so great that no matter what our sin, He calls to us to regret them and come to Him and freely (not earned) receive His grace through Jesus.
To all, to everyone, Jesus loves you and He proved it by dying for us. For all of us. Why die without having Him as your Savior and Lord? Why forever perish?. Love yourself enough to run to Jesus. Don’t despise your soul, but let it be renewed in Him. He will not chastise you as some would, but He will welcome you (Luke 15:11-32) and teach you how to live a new life that pleases Him and blesses you. Family and Friends, only through Jesus. And not only to some, but to all, no matter the sin or sins, His love reaches out to all of us. Praise God! Thank you Jesus!
