Isaiah 43:1
But now thus says the LORD
who created you, O Jacob,
and he who formed you,
O Israel:
“Fear not,
for I have redeemed you,
I have called you
by your name;
you are mine.
This chapter states God’s relationship to the people of Israel. He is their Creator (v 1), their Redeemer (v 1,14), their Saviour (v 3), their King (v 15), and Protector (v 2), One Who loves them (v 4), and Who will restore them (vs 5,6), and forgive them (v 25). Israel failed to do what they should have done (vs 22-24), and God had to punish them for it (v 28), but He would not fail (v 25). The people of Israel on their side of the relationship were to be witnesses (vs 10,12) and glorifiers of God (v 21). There is sweet truth in this chapter for all who trust the God of Israel as their God and Savior.
