Abstract

It would be difficult to find on the pages of the entire Scriptures, even in the fulfilment of the New Testament, a passage which in point of clarity, precision, and emphasis surpasses the offer of full and free grace that is contained in the oft-quoted, much-beloved words of the prophet Isaiah: "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," chap. 1, 18.
