Isaiah Beholding God & Receives Assurance of Forgiveness...πŸ™πŸŒΏπŸŒΌ

When God called Isaiah the prophet in the temple, the revelation of the Lord’s glory humbled the priest and he immediately saw his own unworthiness. He recognized the stain of sin in his life, a mark so deep that it seemed impossible to remove. But the Lord did the impossible, and Isaiah was told, “Your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged” (Isaiah 6:7).



One of the main barriers to conversion and coming to God is the belief that a person has committed sins so bad that the Lord could never forgive such iniquities. When Isaiah saw God’s glory, the revelation was like that of Moses— he saw the merciful character of the Lord, traits that showed God’s willingness to forgive and remove sin.



The Lord said through Isaiah, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool” (v. 18). When you humbly confess your sins, you may know that God—the true Stain Remover—can wash you clean!

Isaiah Beholding God and Himself...πŸ•ŠπŸŒΏπŸŒΌ

Isaiah Beholding God & Himself:
Isaiah was born during a time when the nation of Israel was in apostasy and rebellion against God.
While serving as a priest in the temple, he writes: “I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple” (Isaiah 6:1). He saw angels who cried, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory” (v. 3).
It was as if the holy of holies had been thrown open before the humble priest and the glories of heaven were displayed before him. The glorious scene caused the whole temple to tremble. 
Isaiah was so moved by the revelation that he exclaimed, “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts” (v. 5). His admission revealed a knowledge of both the state of affairs in Israel and an understanding of his own heart.
All who, like Isaiah, respond to a true revelation of God by recognizing their own sinful condition, will experience a conversion of heart and a cleansing from sin.-AF

Through the Eyes of Faith...πŸ•ŠπŸŒΌπŸŒΏ

Through The Eyes of Faith:
When we look at the thief who died on the cross next to Jesus, we find all the steps in salvation. He saw Jesus hanging on the cross. He probably heard Jesus say, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” (Luke 23:34–42
The thief watched all these acts and deeds of kindness with no hostility or aggression, and seeing God’s goodness helped him become aware of his own badness. You see, the Bible tells us it’s the goodness of God that leads us to repentance. “I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, But now my eye sees You,” Job said. “Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes” (Job 42:5, 6
I’m talking about the eye of faith that sees God in His Word. -AF
