Isaiah 1:18 KJV "...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..."
"Though your sins be as scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though your sins be as scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they be red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.
Though your sins be as scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow."
Hear the voice that entreats you,
O return ye unto God!
Hear the voice that entreats you,
O return ye unto God!
He is great compassion,
And of wondrous love.
Hear the voice that entreats you,
O return ye unto God!
He'll forgive your transgressions,
And remember them no more:
He'll forgive your transgressions,
And remember them no more:
"Look unto me, ye people,"
Saith the Lord your God.
He'll forgive your transgressions,
And remember them no more. (TH, 465).
They shall be as white as snow;
Though your sins be as scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they be red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.
Though your sins be as scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow."
Hear the voice that entreats you,
O return ye unto God!
Hear the voice that entreats you,
O return ye unto God!
He is great compassion,
And of wondrous love.
Hear the voice that entreats you,
O return ye unto God!
He'll forgive your transgressions,
And remember them no more:
He'll forgive your transgressions,
And remember them no more:
"Look unto me, ye people,"
Saith the Lord your God.
He'll forgive your transgressions,
And remember them no more. (TH, 465).
"...We dare not, indeed, presume to
speculate or dogmatize on the manner of this intercession. It is a silent
inarticulate speech and pleading. The voice of Abel’s blood is represented, by
a bold figure, as crying from the ground. That blood, it need not be remarked,
was in reality mute. So doubtless is it with our Divine Intercessor. There may
be no articulate accents, no audible utterances. He sprinkles no material
blood. But this we know, that He has carried with Him to His intercessory
throne a glorified body, still bearing the visible marks of earthly humiliation
and suffering – the perpetual memorials of His atoning sacrifice – so that that
blood may still be said to have a voice before the throne – “The blood of
sprinkling which speaks better things than that of Abel.” (John MacDuff ,
Clefts on the Rock – The Believer’s Ground of Confidence in Christ, 1874).

5.) Cleansing is through Christ alone.
6.) Cleansing is through the design of the Father.
7.) Cleansing is through the application of the Spirit.
8.) Cleansing is what true Christian's experience.
9.) The biblical reason of God-breathed Scripture is that the Triune God forgives His people in salvation.
10.) The cooperate gathering of the local church is where we come to reason together about God's spiritual salvation program through Christ alone.
11.) Reasoning together is about God's God-breathed words in the biblical Scriptures about salvation of the spiritual soul and the redemption of the body.
12.) Man is conceived in original sin and actual transgressions.
13.) Man's sin is totally and radically scarlet because we have stained our robes of white with crimson stain that only a holy Triune God can wash away.
14.) Man is totally depraved and spiritually dead in all ways: namely, holistically.
15.) The Bible is about rational God-breathed divine revelation in the completion of 66 Books in special revelation of infallible Scripture.
16.) The soul of the Christian is sinless in the unbreakable state of spiritual redemption in Christ.
17.) The body of the Christian sins in a sinner at the same time just and sinless in the spiritual salvation in Christ.
18.) The sins of the body cast shadows on the soul that must be repented of before a holy Triune God.
19.) In a positional sense, all sin is pardoned already by and through Jesus Christ alone before the Father in an acquittal through His eternal Son by His Spirit.
20.) In a experiential sense, all sin ought to be confessed by and through the Spirit-powered and gifted Christian unto repentance unto remission.
21.) The chosen of the Father is not the chosen of Satan or demons (rather hated due to Jesus Christ), but of God the Father through His Son by His self-existent Spirit.
22.) There is a better freedom under Christ by obedience unto life in the Old and New Testament Commandments.
23.) The true Christian is chosen forevermore by a holy and innocent Triune God.
24.) The Christian has their sins white as snow because of Jesus Christ.
25.) The Christian has their sins as red as crimson, because sin casts shadows on the soul or stains the souls but God through His Son by His Spirit washes us clean by the sprinkling of the blood of the Lamb.
26.) There is joy in the Christian life because of God.
27.) Our sin shall be as wool because of the pardon of Jesus Christ the only God-man the Incarnate Person of the Trinity.
28.) The matchless and sinless life of the eternal Son earned salvation for God's elect people for the merit that is the grounds of righteousness by faith alone, but how is this reflected in the life of lawless people who live as if God's intent or the life of Christ was as themselves in radical sin?
29.) Those who are washed by the eternal Christ have their sins washed white as snow.
30.) Those who are washed by the eternal Christ struggle with sin touching sins of the body but they are forgiven by the atonement of Jesus Christ who subjected Himself to death for the appeasement of the Father in removing all sin as far as the east is from the west for the glory of the Triune Majesty in the highest obedience of the Son in the joy of the Father's design but also the forsaken accursed hanging on the Cross to pardon the deepest stain.
31.) The life of Jesus earned redemption.
32.) The death of Jesus pardoned sin at the Cross.
33.) Buddha could not make a Christian white as snow, because only Christ alone could wash sin.
34.) Confucius never made a Christian whole, but only the eternal Son of Man washed sin.
35.) Zoroastrian religion could never forgive and cleanse the people of God, because there is a dual power of God and Satan: namely, only the all-powerful Triune God conquers Satan by being in His people who is greater than he.
36.) Muhammad never forgave or washed someone's sins away, but Jesus Christ alone.
37.) Demons could never pardon sin, but actually enhance the sinfulness of sin in how they go about furthering false religion and worship.
38.) Satan is a creature who has different contradicting plans about false religion, because he really does not know how to pardon sin. He is a lair and the father of deceit. Do not trust him.
39.) Sin is the deepest stain on the mind.
40.) Sin is the deepest stain on the heart.
41.) Sin is the deepest stain on the spirit.

49.) God washes white as snow by His Word.
50.) A holy God cannot go against His Word.
51.) There is joy in following Christ.
52.) Every Christian is a little Jesus to love as He loved, but to hate evil as He hates evil.
53.) There is a joy in wearing white robes from Jesus, but there are false white robes by appearance.
54.) The false white robes are Romanism.
55.) The false white robes is sin covering sin.
56.) The false white garments of false religion is garments of wrath before the Father.
57.) Only the eternal garments of the eternal Christ in His imputation of His unified merit stand before the Father's judgment in acquittal over the eternal matter of sin and evil and wickedness in the total scope of man's fallen, depraved and radically corrupt thoughts, words and deeds from original sin and actual transgressions.
58.) A rejection of the God of the Bible is not the way, because there is no justification by death.
59.) A rejection of rational biblical truth in the excusing plea of ignorance is sin, because agnosticism is the precedence of the sinfulness of sin that also needs forgiveness and cleansing.
60.) No argument will avail before God other than Jesus Christ in His triumphant life and death.
61.) No argument permits us to be forgiven except the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ where it is proved that Jesus' life and death are trustworthy unto an deathless and glorified life that makes death stingless because of the design of the Father through His Son by His matchless Spirit.
62.) There is no washing white as snow in Hinduism, because guru's cannot pardon sin but only add to the depths of sin while they wear white that is clouded in the darkness of hell but cloaked in a masquerading light that will be cast into the lake of doom with death in final indignation of the Triune God.
63.) There is no washing white as snow in Buddhism, because self-reliance is depraved and corrupt self-despair due to our fallen nature: namely, we should not trust our conscience because it excuses sin and forbids good.
64.) There is no spiritual refuge in Buddhism, because only a holy Triune God is able to be the spiritual refuge in the Living Art of the Covenant: namely, the Living Jesus Christ (yet in saying this, I do not mean there is not a real Art of the Covenant in Old Testament History, but surely Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the picture of the powerful and ancient Ark).
65.) The blood of Jesus is greater than the Genesis Flood, because it is eternal worth for His elect only.
66.) The living Water of the written Word is greater than the Genesis Flood, because its power is eternal rather than physical.
67.) The eternal Christ is able to forgive sin, because He is Jehovah in human flesh.
68.) The eternal Christ does not forgive those of the never-converted elect like Balaam Judas, because He chooses His own for His own glory and purpose.
69.) The Father's design for the Cross is intended for the washing His people alone white as snow.
70.) The Spirit's application is the only way to bring about washing the scarlet sin of fallen man as white as snow, because of the unified work of Christ alone.
71.) We desperately need the matchless life of Christ to stand before the God the Holy Father, but if we did not have this we would not be right through the Son.
72.) We desperately need the matchless death of Christ to stand before the God the Father of true lights, because if we did not have the appeasement by the Son to the Father (propitiation) and the removing our sins as far as the east is from the west (expiation) we would remain as unforgiven and eternal and cosmic villains who are accountable for eternal treason before an holy and innocent God.
73.) The Second Coming of Christ purifies us from sin by the Spirit in renewing our minds when we think of His appearing, because the Spirit exalts Jesus Christ and it is the hope of the Day of Joy. (I still remember that this was the verse my dad mediated upon, and he always longed for the day of the Final Return of Jesus in His Second Coming).
74.) The intercession of Jesus Christ is to present the unified merits of merits before the Father by the Spirit's work of approbation of salvation (devoid of man's work) in behalf of God's people alone where He never fails to intercede for His chosen.
75.) Baptismal waters in Roman oil does not save, but the spiritual application by His Spirit and Word.
76.) A Modalist God cannot save because Jesus is merely a perfect Man, but also the Father and Spirit is a mode of Jesus where it is a spiritual irrationality.
77.) Historical Mormon thought about God cannot wash as white as snow, because he denies the Power of Being in that the Triune God is eternally self-existent.
78.) Any sin can be washed by a holy Triune God, but that does not mean we should permit sin.
79.) Any deep stain can be washed by God for His people alone, but what is God's intent to wash away our sin? It is holiness, but how contrary is your abominable living because it does not reflect the simplicity of His holiness in all things? The blind who follow the blind will fall into the ditch.
80.) The washing of God due to sin is what the Cross is there for, but if you use it for license (what St. Peter forbids as grace as a cover-up for sin) you are no better than Satan because he knowingly uses sin upon sin in a complete abandonment to the furtherance of radical and wicked abominations that is the essence of deep black darkness that yield a manifold deepest of the abyss of a malevolent ocean of doom and pit of hell sin-living that is the consuming essence of wrath that never redeems but turns him over to an existence of a vessel of fury.
81.) There is no washing for fallen angels.
82.) There is no washing for fallen Lucifer.
83.) There is no washing for fallen reprobates.
84.) There is a great stain upon fallen angels.
85.) There is a great stain for fallen Lucifer.
86.) There is a great stain for fallen reprobates.
87.) The Christian can never break God's love.
88.) Christians undergo corrective judgment due to seasons of sin, but this is not an Roman indulgence because nothing can add to the God-man's judgment upon Himself in His Cross-atoning death where He brought an imperishable life out of death.
89.) No one can make a Christian sin to undo God's love, because God cannot break His Word and the oath of His promise for each elect sinner through the spiritual sons and daughters of Abraham in the spiritual Israel.
90.) God the Father, Son and Spirit never changes, because this is according to His immutable nature and the testimony of His Word in the complete harmony of His message about His dear Son.
91.) The Father cannot reverse the unified work of the eternal Son by the application of the Spirit, because it is set in time in such a way that it is not contingent upon anything. Rather it is established in His foredetermined plan that reflects His unbreakable program before earthly time began because God is true to His people in memory even before they exist on earth in His outworking plan of divine providence.
92.) If a Christian is washed by Christ, it cannot be stopped. That is it continues to the end of life, but in glory we live with eternal irremovable white robes before the Father where the glory is beyond description for the design of the Father through the unified work of the Risen Son by the divine application of the Spirit. IN YOUR FACE O ENEMIES OF GOD'S CHOSEN!
93.) Sin cannot undo positional peace with God that always forgives and cleanses us. We are only right with the Father through the Son because He provides EVERYTHING we need to be RIGHT before Him in how we are declared right before God, but doing right in a living faith is the necessary consequence of Jesus in our hearts. A living faith cannot earn salvation nor do we do a good deed to have our faith depend on ourselves, but it all rests on Jesus Christ. "All we can" good is nothing to earn our way to heaven, but there is only a place for a foredetermined demonstration of living faith that is proper in a display of a working faith to reflect God's holiness but it is so thoroughly corrupted with sin that it is like a bright star (the residing Spirit in us not us) in a black picture of darkness. Hence only God is good but man is no good save for Jesus Christ imputed to us by faith alone!
94a.) Experiential peace of the mind can be shakened due to deep sin through commission and omission of sin by the will is the mind choosing in actual transgressions from the fallen federal headship of Adam in the divine truth of the historical and theological yet spiritual original sin.
94b.) If you sin that grace abounds, it is surely the Hand of God's Judgment. Are you a pig with wings or are you a saint with the purity of the Son's white robes in a set apart morality that is called for every Christian to live right in a biblically forsaken purity that reflects holy morality in thought, word and deed?
95.) Morality does not add to Christ alone (not because it is not right but due to our radical weak corruptions that are tainted with so many problems of reconciliation that it is matchless in its defilement of the greatness of sin), but it is a morality called by God unto a whole purity demonstrates a living faith: namely, a living faith WILL have a living morality. What about you? Are you a living moral example or are you a living abomination? Do not think if you are a sinner all sin is permissible, but understand that no sin is permissible. Jesus did not die on the Cross to add wrath to wrath, or to say "I am forgiven but I reject obedience." There is also a sense that there is no telling what sin a Christian can get into, but the Cross is there for forgiveness and cleansing. We should not live with a mindset of sin, but if we did Jesus would forgive any who come to Him by the Spirit from the design of the Father. Do not neglect holiness in abstaining from sin by God's restrainment, because the Son still sweats drops of blood in His throne room where angels minister to Him due to your re-crucifixion of Jesus again. I am not saying there is an additional atonement from Jesus (it is a way of saying for those who commit intentional sin that they have committed the great degree of sin of Judas Iscariot who is no doubt called a devil and son of perdition under the evil leadership of Pharisaical Romanism), because the only atonement was the Cross. I am saying sin at a great level of degree and done with a great level of intent is painful for the eternal Son touching His glorified humanity but touching His deity there is an human expression of pain over our sin like the Father and Spirit but according to a sense of pain of the Triune God it is divinely untouchable. When I was a wee little boy, Satan came and filled me to an overflowing defilement in counterintelligence regarding my future Spirit-born love of Jesus, and he boasted against Jesus, "See now the Son must endure this pain. More pain! More sin! Defile him! Keep it up! How do you feel now? Pain! Pain! Sin! Sin! Turn him over! Turn him over! Now! Now! Let justice be satisfied!" But Satan is defeated because Jesus bore the pain a very long time ago. It is also true He bears the burden lightly, but why, why, why do you want to injury an innocent and holy God with your sin when He only does what is right and He is rationally asking "WHY" over your sin? Why don't you use grace for greater good? Why do you abuse a good God with your sin? There is something God cannot do: namely, He cannot sin, because it is against His eternal nature.
"...PRAISE THE LORD BECAUSE HE IS GOOD,
PRAISE THE LORD BECAUSE HE IS HOLY,
AND HE NEVER DID ANYTHING OF SIN.
HE IS BLAMELESS IN THE ULTIMATE SENSE,
BUT FALLEN MAN IS TAINTED WITH A GREAT ABYSS
OF SIN.
PRAISE THE FATHER OF LIGHTS FOR HIS DESIGN
WHERE HE CONDESCENDED THROUGH HIS SON
TO APPLY HIS RICHES BY HIS SPIRIT.
PRAISE THE GOOD LORD TO DO GOOD,
BUT WHY DOESN'T FALLEN MAN REFLECT HIS
INTENT IN ALL THINGS?
YOU ARE CREATED AND ORDAINED TO DO GOOD.
BUT LOOK TO THE MATCHLESS LIFE OF JESUS
BECAUSE IT IS EVERYTHING..."
I hear the Saviour say,
"Thy strength indeed is small,
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in me thine all in all."
Jesus paid it all,
All to him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
Lord, now indeed I find
Thy power, and thine alone,
Can change the leper's spots,
And melt the heart of stone.
For nothing good have I
Whereby thy grace to claim—
I will wash my garments white
In the blood of Calvary's lamb.
And when, before the throne,
I stand in him complete,
"Jesus died my soul to save,"
My lips shall still repeat. (TH, 690).
"Thy strength indeed is small,

Jesus paid it all,

Lord, now indeed I find
Thy power, and thine alone,

And melt the heart of stone.
For nothing good have I
Whereby thy grace to claim—

In the blood of Calvary's lamb.
And when, before the throne,
I stand in him complete,
"Jesus died my soul to save,"
My lips shall still repeat. (TH, 690).
"See how red your guilt is. Mark the
scarlet stain. If you were to wash your soul in the Atlantic Ocean, you might
incarnadine every wave that washes all its shores, and yet the crimson spots of
your transgression would still remain. But plunge into the “fountain filled
with blood, drawn from Immanuel’s veins,” and in an instant you are whiter than
snow. Every speck, spot, and stain of sin is gone, and gone
forever." (C.H. Spurgeon).
