Name

                      Acts 4:12 

     Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

 

     We are sinners and need to in reverence and awe speak the Name of our Maker in confession and repentance of all sin and not with needless repetition.

 

     Jesus has many Names.  He is even identified with some of the same Names as God the Father.  From Genesis to Revelation the word God is used to make known our Creator to us and show us His character.

     The first chapter of the Bible lets us know that there was more that one person involved in the making of planet earth. Let us make man in our image after our likeness.  God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Spirit, Three Persons.

 

      When we are presenting the plan of salvation to English speaking people we want to use the language that they will understand and is used in the Bible.  It does not need to be made confusing with a restriction of the original foreign tongue that we do not know how to pronounce.

 

     All through the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy God, Lord, Spirit, Jesus, and numerous other Names such as Jehovah, I Am, Messiah, Christ, are used to call attention to whom we are to worship.  If we were not to use these names they would not be there

for us to use and share with others. 

And we would have been told not to utter God`s Name on our sinful lips.
