Names

God has many different names in the Bible. The names that the people of Israel give God explain his relationship to them. Some of the most common names of God you see in the old testament are Yahweh, which means a loving relational God and El which means the creator God or the powerful God. My visual is a baby because when you are born your parents had to choose a name with a meaning that would fit you. There are so many names that they could choose for you with so many meanings. In the Bible especially in the old testament names have so much meaning and they explain what people do and how they are “related” to God. My favorite name for God in the old testament is Yahweh Tsidkenu which means the Lord our righteous Savior.
