The basic study of Jesus

“Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD:though your sins are like scarlet,

they shall be as white as snow;though they are red like crimson,

they shall become like wool.(Isaiah 1:18, ESV)

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good

fruits, impartial and sincere. (James 3:17, ESV)
