It reflects God's intention and decision-making process. In the context of Isaiah, God often speaks directly to His people, revealing His plans and purposes. This divine speech underscores the authority and sovereignty of God in the lives of the Israelites.<p><b>“They are surely My people,</b><br>This declaration highlights the covenant relationship between God and Israel. The term "My people" is significant throughout the Old Testament, denoting a special, chosen status. This phrase echoes God's promise to Abraham and the patriarchs, where He established Israel as His own nation (<a href="/genesis/17-7.htm">Genesis 17:7</a>). It also reflects the intimate relationship God desires with His people, akin to a familial bond.<p><b>sons who will not be disloyal.”</b><br>Here, the term "sons" signifies a familial relationship, suggesting both privilege and responsibility. The expectation of loyalty is rooted in the covenant, where Israel is called to faithfulness to God. Historically, Israel's disloyalty is a recurring theme, leading to periods of judgment and exile. This phrase can be seen as an ideal expectation, contrasting with Israel's frequent rebellion. It also foreshadows the New Testament concept of believers as children of God (<a href="/john/1-12.htm">John 1:12</a>).<p><b>So He became their Savior.</b><br>This statement reveals God's response to His people's identity and need. Despite Israel's failures, God acts as their Savior, delivering them from oppression and sin. This role of God as Savior is a central theme in the Bible, culminating in the person and work of Jesus Christ. The concept of salvation here is both physical and spiritual, pointing to God's ultimate plan of redemption through Christ, who is the fulfillment of the prophetic hope for a Savior (<a href="/matthew/1-21.htm">Matthew 1:21</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The speaker in this verse, expressing His relationship with His people.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>Referred to as "My people," indicating the nation chosen by God.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/c/children.htm">Children</a></b><br>Symbolic of the Israelites, highlighting their relationship with God as His children.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/s/savior.htm">Savior</a></b><br>Refers to God’s role in delivering and redeeming His people.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_faithfulness.htm">God’s Faithfulness</a></b><br>God identifies His people as His own, showing His commitment and faithfulness despite their past disloyalties.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/i/identity_as_god's_children.htm">Identity as God’s Children</a></b><br>Believers today are called to live as children of God, reflecting His character and values in their lives.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/role_of_the_savior.htm">Role of the Savior</a></b><br>God’s role as Savior is central to His relationship with His people, both in the Old Testament and through Christ in the New Testament.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/call_to_loyalty.htm">Call to Loyalty</a></b><br>Just as God expected loyalty from Israel, He calls believers to a life of faithfulness and obedience.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/redemption_and_relationship.htm">Redemption and Relationship</a></b><br>The verse highlights the redemptive relationship God desires with His people, which is fulfilled in Jesus Christ.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_isaiah_63.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Isaiah 63</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/who_were_the_edomites.htm">Who were the ancient people known as Edomites?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_the_bible_say_about_the_trinity.htm">What is the Bible's teaching on the Trinity?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_constitutes_the_mystery_of_faith.htm">What constitutes the mystery of faith?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_god_our_father.htm">Is God our Father?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/isaiah/63.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(8) <span class= "bld">For he said . . .</span>--The words throw us back to the starting-point of God's covenant with His people, based, so to speak, on the assumption that they would not fail utterly in the fulfilment of their promises.
