 We learn the nature of God
and what He is like through His
Name
 For Hebrews, the name represents
the person. When God wants to
transform a person, He changes the
name.
 Today, Jesus is not here on earth but
when we pray in the name of Jesus, the
spiritual forces obeys like in casting evil
spirits because the name is the person.
When you know God’s name
blessings will happen to you.

see/hear the word?

God
2. Yahweh
Genesis 15:1-2; English bible
LORD
It is a personal name of God
A person who knows the LORD is
a person who is characterized by
a person who has so much
praises about God because
he/she has seen his heart.
The more you get to know the LORD,
the more you realize how good He is. A
person who has hard thoughts about
God, shows someone who does not
know the Lord. He may know about
Elohim, but he doesn’t know His heart.
