Isaiah 45
Isaiah 45:5,6
I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou
hast not known me: 6That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that
there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
Isaiah 45:14b
in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication
unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God.
Isaiah 45:18b
I am the LORD; and there is none else.
Isaiah 45:21b
and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
Isaiah 45:22b
for I am God, and there is none else.
What seems to be the point!? There is only one God--Who is it we have to do with?
Isaiah 45:18-19
18For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and
made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the
LORD; and there is none else. 19I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said
not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare
things that are right.
When God speaks He speaks what is right, He is full of righteousness, all that comes from Him
is righteousness. He is the only God and only from Him comes righteousness.
Isaiah 45:20-21
20Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they
have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot
save. 21Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared
this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no
God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
There is only one God, therefore, there is only one God who can save you. If you worship
another God you worship one who cannot save you. You must come to Him. Any voice from
God has always been from the One God, there is no other, He, and He alone, is the Savior
Isaiah 45:22-25
22Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none
else. 23I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall
not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. 24Surely, shall one
say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that
are incensed against him shall be ashamed. 25In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be
justified, and shall glory.
Salvation is in the One God. He speaks righteousness and this is what saves us. The Lord has
righteousness--Jeremiah 23:6--”he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS”
If you hate God, if the very thought of God makes you mad you will be shamed, you will bow
one way or the other. God justifies and none else.
Philippians 4:8-11
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death,
even the death of the cross. 9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a
name which is above every name: 10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things
in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11And that every tongue should
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Romans 14:11,12
For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall
confess to God. 12So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
If there is only one God and every knee will bow to Him and the NT says every knee will bow
to Christ, Christ is God, there is no other way to view it.
John 14:6-9
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by
me. 7If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know
him, and have seen him. 8Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me,
Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the
Father?
There is only one way to the one God and that is through Jesus Christ, this is your salvation
made available by the One God. Jesus Christ is God and He is how you get saved. If you know
Him, THEN and only then, do you know God.
Isaiah 45
Isaiah 45:5,6
I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou
hast not known me: 6That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that
there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
Isaiah 45:14b
in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication
unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God.
Isaiah 45:18b
I am the LORD; and there is none else.
Isaiah 45:21b
and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
Isaiah 45:22b
for I am God, and there is none else.

Isaiah 45:18-19
18For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and

things that are right.
When God speaks He speaks what is right, He is full of righteousness, all that comes from Him
is righteousness. He is the only God and only from Him comes righteousness.
