I create."The sacrifice of praise," says St. Paul, "is the fruit of the lips."
God creates this fruit of the lips, by giving new subject and cause of thanksgiving by His mercies conferred on His people.
The great subject of thanksgiving is peace, reconciliation and pardon offered to them that are nigh, and to them that are afar off; not only to the Jew, but also to the Gentile.the fruit.

15Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
16And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
17And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
(Eph. 2:14‑17)
 The term “far off” may refer to the sons of Israel, who would be scattered, as distinguished from those who would be in the land. But what is said is true, if we understand it as referring to Gentiles, who were “far off”, in the sense of Ephesians 2:13. But also in either case the peace has to be “created” by God, and is not something produced by men. (Isaiah 57 by F.B. Hole)
