Isa 6:6 | MHM | STEP | v. 6-7 : God did not leave Isaiah in fear. One of the seraphim (angels) flew to him with a live coal from the altar and touched Isaiah’s lips. The angel said, “Your guilt is taken away and your sin is purged.” (Isaiah 6:7 ) This act showed that God forgives and cleanses those who are humble and sorry for their sins. The coal from the altar meant that forgiveness comes from God’s sacrifice. Only those who are cleansed by God are ready to serve him (Hebrews 9:14 ). Isaiah’s lips needed to be purified because he would speak for God to the people.
