Knowing God - Much Soap


Jer 2:22

For though thou wash thee with nitre,
and take thee much soap,
 yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord God.


The Lord sees the various things people do to try and take away the guilt of sin.  He watches people use ‘much soap’.  This soap could be achievements, good deeds, ministry, drugs, fun, entertainment, busyness etc., but He concludes that the sin is still present in His sight.  The key to a clean conscience is not having our iniquities marked before God.  The soap He has made available to us is the sinless shed blood of God’s Son, Jesus Christ.  Ladies, let’s just be honest in His presence and agree with Him when sin is present.  Let us put our faith in His blood and stop trying to cleanse stains that only the blood of Christ can cleanse.  Just as much as our iniquity is marked before Him, His remedy is present as well.  Thank You Lord for the blood of Jesus Christ that is able to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  Honor Him by walking in the richness of forgiveness made available through the sacrifice of His dear Son.
