SIN

"Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, "Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They will be like wool." Isaiah 1:18

It is not enough to accept Him as savior or confess him as Lord. Much more than this, it is necessary to offer yourself as living sacrifice on His altar. That is what forgives you, delivers you from the burden of sin and makes you white as snow.
