When God created the world, everything was perfect. When Adam and Eve brought sin into the world, it disrupted God’s perfect order. Not only did sin and death enter, but all other forms of disorder and chaos.

We became dirty.

To get into Heaven, we must be holy, as God is. Because of sin, though, no one is holy (Romans 3:23).

God loves us too much to leave us in our dirtiness, our sin (happy Valentine’s Day!)

Instead, He sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins.

Isaiah 1:18, ESV, says:

“Come now, 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 become like wool.”

Snow is a beautiful reminder of how God created the world to be: beautiful, pure.

In order for us to be ‘as white as snow,’ all we have to do is ask, like David did in Psalm 51:7 (ESV): “Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.”

God is waiting for us to come to Him. He loves you.
