Below are some photos taken today just outside my new apartment.
The Black Forest has turned snow-white and all the more beautiful. This has reminded me of a spiritual truth from the Bible. In His word, God tells us how He can transform our sinful hearts to make them clean and white as snow:
"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." (Isaiah 1:18)
The Bible tells us that we all are sinners and because of this, we are separated from God and His glory (Romans 3:23). As sinners, we are condemned to death (Romans 6:23). But God loves us and sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross in our place for our sins (Romans 5:8). Those who turn away from their sins and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ are saved and made new (Romans 10:9).
After David sinned greatly, he prayed to God:
"Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow." (Psalm 51:7)
You, too, can believe in Jesus Christ today and receive forgiveness for your sins. Only Jesus Christ can change your sinful heart into one that is clean and as white as snow.
