Names of God

THE NAMES OF GOD & THEIR IMPORTANCE

In Biblical times, names carried great weight, because they not only revealed a person’s character but were often prophetic as well. Throughout the pages of Scripture, God is called by many names, each expressing a truth about His nature or a promise to His people. The first name God used for Himself is in Genesis 17:1, when He said to Abram, “I am God Almighty” (El Shaddai).

As we learn more about God’s names, our relationship with Him is strengthened, deepened, and enriched. As we journey through His Word, God will reveal Himself through His names, teaching us to know Him better, depend on Him more, and love Him deeply.
