20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord. 21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever (Isaiah 59:20-21).
The verses leading up to verses 20 and 21 speak of the need of Man to have a savior. We simply fall short and by our own accord we always will fall short of God’s standards. But God in infinite love and patience provides a redeemer. We know that the redeemer lives and is Christ Jesus. God through the person and work of Christ sends the Holy Spirit that proceeds from both the Father and the Son to keep all God’s people in faith. The words of God literally are a permanent part of our being as a result of the presence and actions of the Holy Spirit. We are sealed and kept forever. This is the good news of the Gospel, that while we were and are sinners, God sends a redeemer to restore us to the proper relationship to Himself.
