Names of God

Paragraph:

names in the bible, especially in the old testament, were very important to people. When someone introduced themselves in bible times it was like saying who they were as a person. For example elijah means the Lord is yahweh, adam means a man. Israel means wrestles with God and jacob (israel) literally fought with God. Jesus means to rescue or deliver, and he rescued the world from sin and death. Names in the bible held a lot of weight and influenced the people who were named those names. To me a name tag tells people who the person who is wearing the name tag is or sometimes something about them ethnically.
