Isaiah 1:18 - “Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the LORD. He makes our sinful lives as white and pure as our yard on a snowy morning (like today), before anyone has walked through it. The white bead then, stands for our justification (just as if I had not sinned) through Jesus' blood. Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Happily, the red bead stands for Jesus' blood, that he shed on the cross, to pay the death penalty for our sin for us. That makes us sad, and that sadness, which is what the blue bead stands for, can make us want to turn away from our sin.Ģ Corinthians 7:10 - Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Unfortunately, we are all walking in the darkness of sin, represented by the black bead, and the penalty for sin, that separates us from God, is death. 24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it. 23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. Revelation 21:22-24 - 22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. As to the pony bead necklace, thinking along the lines of the Wordless Book, the gold bead reminds us of the awesome glory of God, and the light He gives for people to walk by.
