The Only Savior

Isaiah 43 holds comfort for those who are called by God's name. He is our only Savior and the only God. He loves us, saves us, and involves us by making us His witnesses. Below are highlights from Isaiah 43:1-13.

"'Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior'" (Is. 43:1-3a).

"'Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west...Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth--everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made'" (Is. 43:5, 6b-7).

"'You are my witnesses,' declares the LORD, 'and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior'" (Is. 43:10-11).

"'You are my witnesses,' declares the LORD, 'that I am God. Yes, and from ancient days I am he. No one can deliver out of my hand. When I act, who can reverse it?'" (Is. 43:12b-13).

When we are in His hands, we are there to stay. Nothing can change that. That's a guarantee nothing in this life can compare to. Rest in His promise of His love for you.
