~ HIS NAME IS ABOVE EVERY OTHER NAMES
Beloved, I came across a list of God’s names and decided to deep dive into each name of God listed. After careful study, here is a fact-checked list of the names of God as found in Scripture.
These names reveal His character and attributes as experienced throughout biblical history.
For Gentile (non-lJewish) Christians under the new covenant in Christ, speaking these names is not only permissible but encouraged when done with reverence and understanding of their biblical significance.
As we are grafted into God’s covenant through Jesus (Romans 11:17), we honor His name and nature when we use these names to praise, pray, or reflect on His goodness and sovereignty.
