Whats in a name? What does your name mean? Is it relevant to who you are ?  My name actually means Strong/Valiant.  Some of you that know me may laugh at that , don’t worry I do too. It’s not exactly who i am at all, is it. However God  has many names but they are all relevant to Him. His name is , to name a few, Almighty God, Everlasting Father, Heavenly Father, Wonderful Counsellor,  Elohim, Adonai and Abba. Which name is your favourite for God?  Which one helps you to see Him as He really is? Trouble is , He is all of them and much much more. Each of Gods names are a different aspect of who He is, of His Character.  He is Almighty, Everlasting, who was and is and will always be. He is our rock , our refuge and our strength. He is our ever present help in times of trouble. He is compassionate , Holy, Merciful, Forgiving, Righteous, Judge, Healer, Restorer, Redeemer and Friend. He is Love.

He loves you so much that he couldn’t bear the mess you and I were in as human beings. He knew we couldn’t save ourselves. He knew we couldn’t keep the laws, we kept messing up and doing what was wrong in Gods sight. He knew we needed a Savior. So rather than us keep on failing to keep His laws and sacrificing a lamb without blemish or defect  for the forgiveness of sins. God sent His son Jesus Christ into the world to be a sacrifice for our sins, to be the lamb of God to shed His blood for our sins.For God so loved the world that He gave His only son that whoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. That everlasting life starts here and now and will go on for Eternity. Millions including myself will testify to the love of Christ, His transforming, restoring, redeeming , healing love.

So whats in a name? Everything. He is my Lord and King but my favourite name is Savior. As that is who He is to me, My Savior.
