Subject: The name at Exodus 3:15 |
Bible Note: God goes by many names in the Bible to reveal His character.Like Almighty,All-Sufficient God which is translated from the original hebrew word EL-SHADDAI used in Genesis 17:1,2. Or, Adonai which is the Hebrew word used in Due.3:24 which means Lord and Master.Jehovah which is the English translation of Yahweh, was used for God's personal name by the Jews because of the warning in Exodus 20:7,they believed it was wrong to speak this most holy name and substituted Adonai as Jehovah.In the NT testament Jesus does not make mention of this as something that his followers must say in order to address our God .Jesus and his followers address Him as Abba which in english means Father.(Mark 14:36,Romans 8:15, Galatians 4:6,) In Matthew 6:9 when the disciples ask Jesus how to pray,He tells them to address God as "Our Father.." |
