Isaiah 45:25

Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"In Jehovah shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory." — Isaiah 45:25 (ASV)

In the Lord. —We note the germ of the New Testament thought of the mystic union of man with God, in the phrases “in the Lord,” “in the Holy Spirit,” “in Christ,” which embody that thought. Jehovah is the sphere, or region, in which men live and move and have their being. The seed of Israel, as interpreted by Isaiah 45:23, includes all who have joined themselves to the true Israel of God.
