The Kind of Congregation Christ Creates

Isaiah 33:13-16 are designed to help us be sure that we are the kinds of people who will be able to withstand the scrutiny of a holy God.  Allow the question and answer format to flesh out meaning.  Verse 15 describes the kind of person that is created by saving faith.  V. 16 begins to show the quality of life the righteous-by-faith enjoy.  Isaiah's purpose continues: God will destroy all who rebel against Him and will deliver all who trust Him; all who trust Him, however, must look like Him.  V. 14 describes our Lord's terrifying holiness in action.  Faith in Christ leads to a Spirit-empowered righteousness.  It's true of every true Believer.
