Let Us Know God Through His Names – By Iwalola(Lola) Ademodi

~ 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.
