Names are important in the Bible. Your name is the public manifestation of your character, essence, and identity. So when God tells us his name in this passage, he’s saying, “This is who I am.” So who is this God? What is he like? This passage shows us. It therefore holds great importance for all people. For non-believers, it helps work through the objection that it’s intolerant and freedom-robbing to say you have the one, true God. But for believers this is just as important, because anytime you have a distorted or deficient understanding of God, it leads to distortions in our lives. Join us as we explore what it means that God has a name.
