"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 as crimson, they shall be like wool." -Isaiah 1:18
The greatest sinners, if they truly repent, shall have their sins
forgiven them, and so have their consciences pacified and purified.
Though our sins have been as scarlet and crimson, as deep dye, a double
dye, first in the wool of original corruption and afterwards in the many
threads of actual transgression—though we have been often dipped, by
our many backslidings, into sin, and though we have lain long soaking in
it, as the cloth does in the scarlet dye, yet pardoning mercy will
thoroughly discharge the stain, and, being by it purged as with hyssop, we shall be clean.
-from Matthew Henry Commentary
