God's Name
In the Bible, God's name holds profound significance and reflects His character, nature, and authority. The most commonly referenced name for God in the Old Testament is YHWH (often rendered as "LORD" in English translations), which is derived from the Hebrew root meaning "to be" or "to exist." This name encapsulates God's eternal, self-existent nature, indicating that He is the ultimate source of life and being (Exodus 3:14). In this context, when God revealed His name to Moses at the burning bush, He emphasized His unchanging and faithful presence with His people, affirming, “I AM WHO I AM.” Additionally, throughout the Scriptures, God reveals Himself through various names and titles that describe His attributes and roles. For instance, "Elohim" highlights His power and might as the Creator (Genesis 1:1), while "El Shaddai" signifies His sufficiency and nurturing aspect (Genesis 17:1). The name "Jesus," derived from the Hebrew "Yeshua," means "Yahweh saves," pointing to His role in redemption (Matthew 1:21). Collectively, these names illustrate the multifaceted nature of God, inviting believers to understand and relate to Him in diverse and profound ways.
