"Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow." — Isaiah 1:18
God may be absolutely holy, but don’t make the mistake of thinking that holiness is unreasonable. It is not.
God is seeking you.
Even if Jesus is your Lord and Savior, God is still seeking you. A good husband doesn’t stop courting his wife even after they say, "I do."
God is seeking you, and He has an offer for you that is perfectly reasonable. The next step in your journey with God is a step just right for your feet of faith to take.
"Reason together." God wants to engage you. Do you have objections? He wants to hear them.
Through this process of reasoning with God, what is false falls away so what is true may remain. As all our pretensions are stripped away, and the compelling sweetness of God’s offer becomes clear, we are changed. Our many sins become unsatisfying and irrelevant to our new life in Christ. They, too, drop away as the reasonableness of God takes hold.
Be encouraged!
