Would you turn to our scripture that we've been looking at every night this week, Isaiah, the first chapter, in the 18th verse, Isaiah 1 and 18.

Qualifications qualifying for God's best are mentioned right here. He talks about the

cleansing and forgiveness of sin. In verse 18 when he says, come now, let us reason together,

says 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.

Let me ask you again, is that for us nowadays?

Cleansing of sin.

Righteousness restored.

Then is the next verse for us too.

If you be willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.

But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with a sword, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.

Is it God's will for us to be willing and obedient?

Yes, then it must be equally His will for us to enjoy the good of the land.

Not the good of heaven.

Thank God one day we will enjoy heaven's best and won't that be a time

but do we have to just you know get by with nothing here and subsist and just look forward to

heaven and that's it or can we have some days of heaven right here on the I'm quoting scripture now, can we enjoy the earnest of our

inheritance, a foretaste of the glory that shall be ours?

Did Jesus have a good news message for the poor?

And is it still belong to us today?

Does redemption include the material financial part of life or is it spiritual only no we read it just a minute ago but just like the scripture says he took

our sins upon him the chastisement of our peace was upon him he he bore our sicknesses, he carried our pains, it also says.
