People give things names, but God is the only one of His kind so he does not need a name. He gives Himself a name for convenience, but mankind is such a mess that nobody knows how to say it. Some people say "yahveh" and some say "jehovah" but when God spoke his name to Noah, the emperor of China heard a voice in the sky say "YAHOO" and he changed his name to that word. Even with that witness, you can't find two people who agree on what God's name is. It doesn't matter at all because the bible says: Psalm 138:2 "I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name."
This is true having a name, describes, who or what we are referring to. In some parts of the world, it is the custom to give a child a name that is full of meaning. The name chosen may reflect the parents’ beliefs and values or their hopes and dreams for the child’s future.
How much more so when referring to the True God, is it important to know who we are referring to.
The Bible says at, (1 Corinthians 8:5) For even though there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many “gods” and many “lords.”
The Bible also talks about another god that is actively worshiped today.
(2 Corinthians 4:4) "among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers."
If we just referrer to, "God" as the the true god, we must call him by name in order to distinguish him from that god mentioned in 1 Corinthians 4:4.
(Proverbs 18:10) says, "The name of Jehovah is a strong tower. Into it the righteous one runs and receives protection." How can we call on a name if we do not know it.
The Bible say, Jesus came to make that name known to his followers.
(John 17:26) I have made your name known to them and will make it known, so that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in union with them.”
Is we profess or claim to be a Christian (follower of Christ), then it is imperative to find out what that name is, what it means, and how it can benefit us today.
