What is the importance of a name and why did God give us His name?
The name ‘God’ is not the name of the true living God. See the meaning of the word ‘God’.
Names in today society
In today modern society the name of a personal does not hold any importance.
Names do not give meaning of who the person is or give information about the person.
A person’s name is merely an identification label, like a number, which could be changed severally.
Many people today just call themselves names without knowing their meanings but just to identify themselves with a name which sounds good to their ears and mouth or not familiar.
The Importance of a name
Bible names and in the Jewish tradition, a person’s name; –
- Gives a lot of information about that person,
- Tells us who that person is.
All names in the bible carry a meaning and portray who the person is.
Reason the name of God is of much importance to us Christians because it reveals to us who He is and what He is.
