Isaiah 43:21 KJV
This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
This verse, together with the previous one, indicate that the people referred to are Gentiles who, like the beast of the field and the dragons and owls will honour the Lord.
God has formed us to praise Him.
John Gill says, "...who being chosen of God, and redeemed by Christ, are formed anew by the Spirit of Christ, made new creatures, regenerated, and transformed by the renewing of their minds, and conformed to the image of Christ, and having him formed in their souls, and principles of grace and holiness wrought in them; in consequence of which they reformed in their lives and conversation, and were also formed into a Gospel church state, and all this done by the Lord for himself, his service, and his glory..."[1]
God has formed us, saved us, and made us into new creatures for
Himself
His service and
His glory
May we be faithful to our purpose!
