Though your sins be as Scarlet

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of G_d. Salvation comes by Faith. Repentance is the natural response to True Faith. Repentance is revealed by the cessation of Sin and Obedience to the Will and Word of G_d. Without such there is no Salvation. Faith without Repentance does not lead to Salvation. True Faith always is partnered with Repentance.

Yeshua "Jesus" who is G_d became a Man. Was born of a Virgin. Live a perfect life in the will of Father G_d. Was recognized by G_d and man that He was the Son of G_d. Performed many miracles which testified to HIS identity. Instead of putting Him on the Throne of the World we placed Him on a Wooden Cross and Killed Him. He was Innocent of any Sin. His Death was given to us to pay the total cost/price of our Sins, past/present/future. G_d accepted this payment and this was shown through the Resurrection of Yeshua "Jesus" from the Grave on the 3rd Day. He was seen by well over 500 people for 40 days. On Pentecost, He rose to Heaven in the view of many people. Now He sits on His Throne in Heaven interceding for His People and preparing for His return to Earth to set up His Throne Here.

What must you do to be Saved? Believe that Jesus is the Messiah and that His Death and Resurrection paid in Full your Sin Debt to the Holy G_d. Repent. Acknowledge your utter sinful state and that you cannot save your self from Hell. G_d had to pay for your sin through the death of His Son, Yeshua. Obey. Be Obedient to the Word of G_d and the directing of His Spirit which will reside in you when you Believe and Repent. You are to be a Follower of Yeshua. A disciple. You are to die to yourself. Your wants and will no longer matters. To accept/receive HIS new life means that you are now dead. You stopped to be and now HE is through you. Forsake your selfish desire. Follow the Master.

First Step of Obedience.... Go and be Baptized in Water as a proclamation of the Salvation which G_d has given you through Yeshua!

Isaiah 1


1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the LORD hath spoken: I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evil-doers, children that deal corruptly: they have forsaken the LORD, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they are estranged and gone backward.

5 Why will ye be still stricken, that ye revolt more and more? the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and festering sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with oil.

7 Your country is desolate; your cities are burned with fire; your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he-goats.

12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to trample my courts?

13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; new moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies,--I cannot away with iniquity and the solemn meeting.

14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil:

17 learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

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.

19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

20 but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! she that was full of judgment! righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.

22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water.

23 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

24 Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:

25 and I will turn my hand upon thee, and throughly purge away thy dross, and will take away all thy tin:

26 and I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

28 But the destruction of the transgressors and the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

31 And the strong shall be as tow, and his work as a spark; and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
