God wants you to know who he is. What would you do
if you wanted a person to get to know you? The
obvious first step would be to tell them your name. This
leads us to ask,"Does God have a name?" The answer for many
religions is God's name is God or Lord. However, these are
titles, like president or king, not a name. In the Bible many
titles for God are found, God and Lord are just two of the
titles found there. The Bible also tells us the name of God.
Psalm 83:18 reads,"You, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are
the Most High over all the earth." If your Bible translation
does not contain the name Jehovah, please, see The Divine Name Of God
to learn why some Bible translations omit the name of God.
The
fact of the matter is God's name appears thousands of times in the
ancient manuscripts from which the Bible is translated.
Jehovah
wants you to know and use his name. You can think of
the
Bible as an introduction to Jehovah God.
The name God chose for
himself is a name full of meaning. Jehovah literally means He
causes to become. This means God can fulfill all promises he
makes and carry out everything he has in mind.
Jehovah is a
unique name; a name that belongs only to him. The
matchlessness
of his name manifests itself in a variety of ways. Let's
explore
this further.
We have found that Psalm 83:18 says of Jehovah, "You alone
are Most High." In the same vein, Jehovah alone is caled "the
Almighty". Revelation15:3 states: "Great and wonderful are
your
works, Jehovah God, the Almighty. Righteous and true are your
ways, King of eternity." The fact that Jehovah is the most
powerful being in that exists is stated in the title "the Alimghty".
No one cane match his power, it is supreme. The
title "King
of eternity" tells us that Jehovah has another unique aspect about him.
Jehovah alone has always existed.Psalm 90:2 says "Even from
time
indefinite to time indefinite you are God. That is an awe
inspiring thought.
Another unique aspect of Jehovah is that he
is the Creator. Revelation 4:11 You are worthy,
Jehovah,
even our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because
you created all things, and because of your will they existed and were
created. From invisible spirit creatures in heaven to fruit
bearing trees, all the stars in the night sky to all the fish in the
sea; everything a person can think of came into existence because
Jehovah God willed it to be so.
