Isa 43:1-28.
A SUCCESSION OF ARGUMENTS WHEREIN ISRAEL MAY BE ASSURED THAT, NOTWITHSTANDING THEIR PERVERSITY TOWARDS GOD
(Isa 42:25),
HE WILL DELIVER AND RESTORE THEM.
1. But now--notwithstanding God's past just judgments for Israel's sins.
created--not only in the general sense, but specially created as a peculiar people unto Himself
(Isa 43:7, 15, 21; Isa 44:2, 21, 24).
So believers, "created in Christ Jesus"
(Eph 2:10),
"a peculiar people"
(1Pe 2:9).
redeemed--a second argument why they should trust Him besides creation. The Hebrew means to ransom by a price paid in lieu of the captives (compare
Isa 43:3).

called . . . by . . . name--not merely "called" in general, as in
Isa 42:6; 48:12; 51:2,
but designated as His own peculiar people (compare
Isa 45:3, 4; Ex 32:1; 33:12; Joh 10:3).
