A Public Declaration of Faith
Commentators agree that this verse describes the result of God's Spirit working in people's lives: a heartfelt and public declaration of belonging to Him. The phrases "say," "call himself," and "subscribe with his hand" all point to a solemn, voluntary commitment, similar to signing a covenant. As Albert Barnes notes, it is a declaration that "I am wholly, and entirely, and forever for Yahweh."
