Snow is a fragile crystal that melts in the sunlight, but God uses its whiteness to illustrate the purity He gives the forgiven. In a previous chapter on prayer, it has been discussed that we are to forgive others as God forgives us. Forgiveness is an essential part of the relationship that exist between people. However, the forgiveness we extend to others is based necessarily on our humanity and will always be tainted with memory. God's forgiveness, on the other hand, causes Him to view the sinner without sin.
Snow reflects light in such a way that it can actually blind the human eye.
It is used by God to portray salvation. The key to this whiteness is the payment for sin by Jesus Christ. Scripture has many examples of how God purifies us from sin through the blood of Jesus Christ. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. It is difficult for man to comprehend what Jesus did by dying on the cross.
