COOL TOOLS: The Names of God

We don't often think about names.  Expectant parents may look up the meanings of names, and history teachers may enjoy telling us the origin of names, but overall we tend to take them at face value.  But the Bible is very intentional about names.  When major figures go through a life-changing experience, their name is changed - Abram to Abraham, Saul to Paul, etc.

So, what about the names given to God?  The name chosen to describe Him at various points in scripture can be VERY significant.  So, why not go over to the Blue Letter Bible and see their section on The Names of God?  I think you'll be surprised!
