Isaiah 1:16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith 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.
19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
***This is the same of the HOLY GHOST which Came after Jesus Christ was Glorified. The Church was birthed on the DAY of PENTECOST which was the very FIRST Church of the HOLY GHOST...Which JESUS CHRIST SPOKE OF in JOHN 3 to Nicodemus...
JOHN 3
There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he CANNOT see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he CANNOT enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; BUT THAT THE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED.
8 He that believeth on him is NOT condemned: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not believed IN THE NAME of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And THIS is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 FOR EVERY ONE THAT DOETH EVIL HATETH THE LIGHT, LEST HIS DEEDS SHOULD BE REPROVED.
21 But he that DOETH TRUTH cometh to the LIGHT, that his deeds maybe made manifest, THAT THEY ARE WROUGHT IN GOD.
ACTS 2l38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
***It washes as White as snow, being washed in the blood it washes you white as snow...then Teaches you along the way because at first you are as a baby in the Kingdom...1 Peter 2:2 As NEWBORN BABES, desire the sincere milk of the Lord, that YE MAY GROW thereby:
3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. ...
BECAUSE HE WILL TEACH YOU...
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in MY name, HE SHALL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS, and BRING ALL THINGS TO YOUR REMEMBRANCE, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, MY PEACE I GIVE UNTO YOU: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
***so IF YOU PLEASE...baby steps... ;-) ***
WHY PETER? You Ask...
THIS is WHY
Matthew 16:13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, BUT MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN.
18 AND I SAY ALSO UNTO THEE, THAT THOU ART PETER, and UPON THIS ROCK I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT.
***Here Jesus Said upon this Rock I will build my CHURCH, Peter is the ROCK per verse 18...HENCE the Birth of the CHURCH would be given to PETER...WHY?
19 And I will give unto thee the KEYS of the kingdom of heaven: and WHATSOEVER THOU SHALT BIND ON EARTH SHALL BE BOUND IN HEAVEN: and WHATSOEVER THOU SHALT LOOSE ON EARTH SHALL BE LOOSED IN HEAVEN.
See Peter was given the KEYS to loose things from heaven per Verse 19 ^ ...and He knew what to do that day and Peter Stood up and DID what Must NEEDS be to loose from HEAVEN to the EARTH the HOLY GHOST.
Peter SPEAKS and Explains ACTS 2
Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Why Because He said He would send the Comforter in MY NAME...John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in MY name, HE SHALL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS, and BRING ALL THINGS TO YOUR REMEMBRANCE, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Henceforth, Peter had the blessing to release the GIFT, which was the PROMISE...
Acts 2:39 For the PROMISE is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
