Isaiah 43 But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
3 For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour:
This scripture was particularly written to the Israelite by the prophet Isaiah as he wrote down the words God had for them. Yet, this scripture was to foretell also of the coming of the Savior who was to be God Himself. Christ, the only Holy One of Israel was to come to be the Savior who would pay the penalty for our sins so that we might be given the chance to be restored into that relationship with Him that was fractured by sin. Now instead of God’s just wrath against the sinner (all of us) for those who would accept His atonement we are now to share in His Righteousness and become adopted into His family to share in His Joy, His Glory and His Peace. He is our creator. He formed us. He redeemed us. He called us and for all who accept Him, we are His. If God was willing to sacrifice Himself to perform everything needed to provide our atonement and if our Creator would love us so much as to do everything needed to be able to share with us His own Glory; then what should we have to fear? If the omnipotent, omniscient God who created heaven and earth is on your side; what are you afraid of?
