In the Bible are found many names and titles for God. The faithful who abide in God’s word are called by his name (Jeremiah 15:16). The true Church bears the name of God. It is said of the Philadelphia era of the Church in part “you…Have not denied my name” (Revelation 3:8). He who overcomes bears the name of God. Those dwelling in the new Jerusalem shall have the name of God on their foreheads (Revelation 22:4), symbolic of having engraved in their minds the knowledge of the inherent meaning of God’s name and the spiritual and intellectual likeness of God which his name expresses.
By knowing the meaning of God’s names we can begin to grasp more fully the greatness of his power and mercy–and hence trust in him more (Psalm 20:7). “…then those who feared the lord spoke to one another, and the lord listened and heard them; so a book of remembrance was written before him for those who fear the lord and who meditate on his name” (Malachi 3:16).
In this message are discussed some of the names of God and their meaning, and some of the implications those names have with regard to one’s relationship with God.
