THE WORKS OF GRACE II

ERV“I, the Lord, am the one speaking to you. Come, let’s discuss this. Even if your sins are as dark as red dye, that stain can be removed and you will be as pure as wool that is as white as snow.

EasyEnglish The Lord says, ‘Please come, so that we talk about this together. Even if your sins are like a red stain, they will become as white as snow. Even if they are bright red, they will become like white wool.

GNT The Lord says, “Now, let’s settle the matter. You are stained red with sin, but I will wash you as clean as snow. Although your stains are deep red, you will be as white as wool.

NKJV “Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the Lord, “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.

We identified the first work of grace to be God’s call to man for salvation.

  • Once a person heeds this call and surrenders all to God, they move on to the next work of grace – salvation.
  • Salvation is the point at which God blots out all your sins of the past and gives you a clean slate to start with.

Many people find it hard to believe that God can cleanse their sins completely, but that is the exact truth.

It doesn’t matter how badly you have sinned, Jesus can make you a new creature in Him.

That is why the salvation experience is referred to as being ‘born again’.

The devil has no grounds to accuse you of any past sin.

When you become saved, the first thing you will notice is that you experience peace like a river.

This is because sin is a weight on your heart.

Matthew 11:28-30 says after Jesus draws you and you come to Him, if you decide to take His yoke on yourself, He will take your burden and then you will have rest.

The burden He takes from you is the burden of sin.

Once that burden is lifted, your soul will be at peace.

This peace is difficult to describe but when you experience it, you will know.

If you have never experienced it before, then you need Jesus to save you and cleanse you from all sins.

If you don’t have that peace anymore, you need to run back to your Saviour and rededicate your life to Him. 

  • The second thing that marks the salvation experience is joy – the joy of the Lord.

It will be impossible to hide this type of joy.

Once your sins are cleansed, your soul begins to rejoice.

Anyone who backslides always notices that the joy they used to feel is gone.

That is why David said in Psalm 51:12 that God should restore unto him the joy of his salvation.

Prayer focus – Father, please wash me clean with Your blood.
