The Name
The Name of Yahweh is a tower of strength.
Firm Foundation: Part 14
Christians today might be more tempted by the allure of a triumphalist faith, or by a distorted gospel that promises worldly satisfactions and success. But believers are baptized into the way of a suffering Lord who lays on his followers not a crown but a cross.
YAHWEH IS A VERB
According to the sacred Hebrew symbols Yod, Heh, Vav, Heh, Yahweh not only means “I am”, but it also means “I BECOME”, or “I am the One who causes to BECOME”. Essentially, God’s name is a VERB!
OH, GOD HELP US!
When we allow His name to be used in vain—as CURSE words—and don’t say anything, we are literally saying it doesn’t offend us when it SHOULD offend us!
That Wonderful Name
Speak the name of Jesus, the wonderful, magnificent, powerful name of Jesus whenever possible!
