white as snow (Isaiah 1:18 )

When we think of sin, we think of a something dark, unclean or ugly. Isaiah 1:18 (New International Version (NIV) says;

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.

White as snow....the beautiful and abundant snow we have had this winter is so clean looking until the debris, salt, etc. gets at it, which in a way is like our hearts. They can be washed as white and clean as snow and then when we let sin come in, it can give that dirty snow look.

Its so important in our earthly relationships to keep short accountants, so it is with our relationship with God.
