God's Nature Expressed Through His Names

In our modern day names are assigned to a newborn baby at random—either due to the popularity of a name, or to honour someone as a namesake—during Bible times the name given to a child stood for much and had a prominence about it that the names of individuals no longer carry. In this context, it is vitally important that as we study the Word of God and the meanings of His Names. How awesome it would be when we encounter God’s Nature through the varied expressions of His Names. His Names give us reference and guidance as to how He works towards and in us as His people – and by extension to society! As a matter of fact it adds a whole new meaning to how you draw near to Him; and by this you can now begin to know His Ways because you have come into relationship with His Nature!
