The Power of a Name-Selah62-CMAW159

S   The power of a name God gives people names in the Bible very intentionally The first man was named Adam, which means from the earth one of the first tasks God gave to Adam was to name the animals God sometimes changes names intentionally Abram to Abraham

In the original Hebrew language of the Torah, which is the first five books of our Old Testament, the name Abram literally means “exalted father.” The name Abraham, however, contains another unused root word, which roughly means “multitude.” Abraham translated literally, then, means “father of a multitude.” Most modern Bibles that contain footnotes will annotate this literal meaning of the Hebrew in the margin.

Take note of this: the changing of Abraham’s name is a sign from God. By changing his name, the Lord not only confirmed that he would fully carry out the promise that he made to Abraham. He, as well, made Abraham the typological father of faith for all the saints (Jude 3). From the flesh of Abraham, a multitude did come, the Jewish people.

But Abraham is not only the father of a single ethnic nation, he is the spiritual “father of a multitude.” And this faithful multitude, comprised of both Jews and Gentiles, is too large to number (Rev 7:9). Through him, all the nations of the world are blessed (Gen 22:18).

(Isa 42:6) He is the one who, though the builders rejected him, is called the Cornerstone. (Rom 9:30ff; Eph 2:20) He is the one who, though the Father has given him the name above all names, does not seek his own advantage but seeks and saves that which is lost. (Isa 9:6; Phil 2:6; Luke 19:10) His name is forever the Word of God. (John 1:1ff; Rev 19:13) And in the last, all will bend their knee and know him as the King of kings and Lord of lords.

Why did He do it? | Faith | Walterboro Live Name vs title In Bible, when you see God is comes from the Hebrew word Elohim, which is a generic term and can refer to any god, it's not a personal name YHVH is God's name, translated as LORD with all cap's or Lord Almighty. Jewish People would not speak that name out of fear they would say it incorrectly, original Hebrew did not have vowel points, just consenants, instead they would use Adonai which means Lord , it's a title not a name, or they woudl say Hashem which simply means the name I've recently came a Youtube channel called The God Culture that has a series on the Name of God, and he makes a very compelling case that the correct pronunciation is Yahuwa and that the correct name for our Savior is Yahusha The Name of God - Part 1: How To Pronounce YHWH May Surprise You - YouTube and THE NAME OF GOD Series Part 3: The Name of Messiah: How to Pronounce Jesus, Yeshua, Yahusha, Joshua? - YouTube Recently at my job I've been working with a lot of coworkers I haven't met before and it's remind me how important it is to remember people's names and what a poor job I do at this, so while I've been thinking a lot about names from the Bible, my work application from this is that names are important, and part of loving others at work is learning and remembering the name of your co-workers My name, David, means Beloved.  Do you know the meaning of your name? If you want to go the extra mile and make a connection with others, you can look up the meaning of someone's name and ask them if they know it, and if they don't share it with them. Did you know that one day, as a believer, you will receive from God a special hidden name?  Rev. 2:17 says "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.”" While you're talking with someone at work about the meaning of their name, you might want to ask them if they are familiar with this verse in Revelation.     E   James 2:15-17 says "15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead."
