Bible References

Thou art

For you are our Father, though Abraham doesn't know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us: you, LORD, are our Father; our Redeemer from everlasting is your name.

You shall tell Pharaoh, 'Thus says the LORD, Israel is my son, my firstborn,

Do you thus requite the LORD, foolish people and unwise? Isn't he your father who has bought you? He has made you, and established you.

For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.

Are the clay

You turn things upside down. Should the potter be thought to be like clay; that the thing made should say about him who made it, "He did not make me;" or the thing formed say of him who formed it, "He has no understanding?"

Woe to him who strives with his Maker, a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth. Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, 'What are you making?' or your work, 'He has no hands?'

"Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause you to hear my words."

But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?"

All are

everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yes, whom I have made.'"

Remember these things, Jacob and Israel; for you are my servant. I have formed you. You are my servant. Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.

"'Your hands have framed me and fashioned me altogether, yet you destroy me.

Know that the LORD, he is God. It is he who has made us, and not we ourselves. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

YOD Your hands have made me and formed me. Give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments.

The LORD will fulfill that which concerns me; your loving kindness, LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the works of your own hands.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
