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)
If we turn to God in repentance all our past mistakes will be washed away. It doesn't sound reasonable that an apology can undo a wrong committed. Saying sorry for adultery or murder doesn't undo the unfaithfulness or loss. How does repentance to God make our sins be clean and white before God?
It's because of a suffering Servant - Jesus was "wounded for our transgressions"; our punishment was put upon him, and it was by His wounds we would be healed and clean. We can't do anything to take away our past sins but when we turn to him in repentance, our sins will be washed completely away by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. What is our relationship with God?
