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
This promise begins with an invitation. God invites you to come to Him with your sin. When you sin, the last person you want to talk to is God. So often, when you sin, you hide from God. You feel guilty and shameful and are afraid to come before Him. Even in your sin, He invites you to come and sit before for Him.
It's as if God is saying, "Let's get together and talk about this sin thing." I have a solution for your sin. There is nothing you have done that I haven't dealt with before. He knows your guilt and shame and invites you to come and experience forgiveness. You can carry your sin or allow Him to forgive you and cleanse you from your sin. When you come to Him, he offers forgiveness and cleaning.
