A PROFOUND RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

We have a deeply profound teaching about God’s relationship with His people. All who are redeemed have this wonderful relationship with God!

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.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you.

For I am the Lord your God,
The Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
I gave Egypt for your ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba in your place.

Since you were precious in My sight,
You have been honored,
And I have loved you;
Therefore I will give men for you,
And people for your life.     Isaiah 43:1-4

  1. The First Relationship

a) The LORD is the Maker

b) There is a Creator-Creature relationship

  1. The Second Relationship

a) This is a Redemption Relationship

b) The LORD is the Redeemer and we are the redeemed ones!

RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS REDEEMED RELATIONSHIP

  1. God calls us by name
  1. We belong to Him
  1. We are precious to Him
  1. We are honoured
  1. He will always love us

Let us rejoice in the Lord and in our Redemption!
