573. Since to be created also means to be regenerated, it is said of one who is born again and as it were created anew. The following passages, not to mention others, prove that to be created has this meaning in the Word.
Create for me, God, a clean heart, and make new a steadfast spirit within me, Psalms 51:10.
You open your hand, and they are filled with good; you send forth your spirit, and they are created, Psalms 104:28, 30.
The people who are going to be created will praise Jah, Psalms 102:18.
Behold, I shall create Jerusalem to be a rejoicing, Isaiah 65:18.
Thus spoke Jehovah, your Creator, Jacob, who formed you, Israel, I have redeemed you. Everyone who is called after my name, I have created him for my glory, Isaiah 43:1, 7.
So that they may see, know, attend and understand that the Holy One of Israel created this, Isaiah 41:20.
This is also clear where the Lord is called Creator, He who forms and Maker. This makes it plain what is the meaning of the Lord's charge to His disciples:
Go into the whole world, preach the Gospel to every creature, Mark 16:15.
Creatures means all who can be regenerated; likewise, Revelation 3:14; 2 Corinthians 5:16-17
