Change is Hard, but God’s Grace is Greater

Here we offer detailed exegeses of Isaiah 1:18-20, exploring the passage's literary structure, Hebrew word meanings, and theological implications. We analyze the imagery of scarlet and snow as representing the transformation from sin to purity, highlighting the divine invitation to reconciliation and the consequences of obedience or disobedience. Emphasis is placed on the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, with the passage understood as a legal courtroom scene where God acts as both judge and advocate.
