Isa 45:22 | JFB | STEP | 22. Look . . . and be ye saved —The second imperative expresses the result which will follow obedience to the first ( ); ye shall be saved ( ). : "If a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass he lived." What so simple as a look? Not do something, but look to the Saviour ( ). Believers look by faith, the eye of the soul. The look is that of one turning (see Margin ) to God, as at once "Just and the Saviour" ( ), that is, the look of conversion ( ).

Isaiah 45:22

22. Look . . . and be ye saved—The second imperative expresses the result which will follow obedience to the first (Ge 42:18); ye shall be saved (Joh 3:14, 15). Nu 21:9: "If a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass he lived." What so simple as a look? Not do something, but look to the Saviour (Ac 16:30, 31). Believers look by faith, the eye of the soul. The look is that of one turning (see Margin) to God, as at once "Just and the Saviour" (Isa 45:21), that is, the look of conversion (Ps 22:27).
