Until God has the final victory over evil it would be wise for man to
learn what God thinks about the wickedness in the world. Understanding
of the verse at Psalm 37:28 brings the realization that God loves
justice. The fact that God cares about what happens to humanity is also
shown in this verse. He hates every kind of injustice that mankind has
ever faced. God felt hurt at his heart in times past when wickedness
filled the world. Review Genesis 6:5,6. God has not changed. Malachi
3:6. The suffering in the world has always been hated by God and is
still hated by God. Consider 1 Peter 5:7.
Continued study shows the Bible reveals further proof that God hates
all the misery suffered by man. Man was created in God‘s image is the
information given at Genesis 1:26. Thusly, because God has good
qualities we have good qualities. To demonstrate this think about this;
are you disturbed when innocent people suffer? If such injustice does
disturb you; you can be certain it disturbs God even more.
One of the best qualities of humanity is its capacity to love. God is
also reflected by man in this quality. God is love is another of the
Bible‘s lessons. 1 John 4:8 Man feels love because he was created in
God‘s image. Out of the love God feels for man he has promised to end
the injustice and suffering in the world. The promises God has made to
us are certain to be fulfilled, not vain hope. To feel secure in the
reality of these promises, however, a person needs to be more aware of
the God that has made them.
In an effort to get to know a person better a person will often
introduce themselves by name and ask that person their name. What
better way is there for people to get to know each other? In a sense,
this can also be done with God. God‘s name is God or Lord is what is
taught by some religions. The fact is God and Lord are titles,as
president, king, or pharaoh are also titles, not personal names. The
Bible reveals many titles that are unique to God. God and Lord are
included in these titles. Careful consideration of the Bible shows us
God also has a personal name. Psalm 83:18 states: That people may know
you, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the
earth. Your version of the Bible may have Jehovah translated as God or
Lord. For more information on why this is so, please, visit What Is Gods Name.
In both the Hebrew-Aramaic (Old Testament) and the Greek (New
Testament) texts Jehovah‘s name is found thousands of times. Realizing
this it seems as though Jehovah wants us to know his name, does it not?
Jehovah gave himself that name. Jehovah means He Causes To Become.
Which means God can perform anything he has in mind. Jehovah’s name is
unique, as Jehovah himself is unique. Jehovah’s distinctiveness
manifests itself in a variety of ways.
We have already seen what Psalm 83:18 says of Jehovah: You alone are
the Most High. Jehovah is also the only one referred to as the
Almighty. Revelation 15:3 Great and wonderful are your works, Jehovah
God, the Almighty. Righteous and true are your ways, King of eternity.
The title the Almighty undeniably states that Jehovah is absolutely the
most powerful being in existence. His power is unmatched, without
equal. The title King of eternity also applied in this verse provides
another sense of Jehovah‘s uniqueness. That Jehovah alone has always
existed is conveyed by this title. Psalm 90:2 declares: Even from time
indefinite to time indefinite you are God.
Jehovah‘s singularity is seen once more in the title the Creator.
Revelation 4:11 reads as follows: You are worthy, Jehovah, even our
God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because of your
will they existed and were created. Jehovah, the Creator, willed
everything that is in existence to be and it was. That is awesome!
