18 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).
The sovereignty of God is always aimed at the benefit of the believer. This verse from Isaiah is part of a promise; really it is part of a covenant as well. God is saying that He will not judge us personally for our sins. Basically, God will make us righteous in His eyes. Of course this is an amazing act of grace on God’s part since we are in fact not worthy and our sins are egregious to God. But God through His sovereign grace has elected to remit our sins. We are made white through the blood of the Lamb of God who takes away our sins. This is the gospel of Lord Jesus Christ, for God’s glory and for our good. Amazing Grace!
