DID YOU KNOW: What are the names of God?What names does God have in the Bible?
Names are very important things in scripture. God gave new names to many of His chosen people, to signify the change in their status or identity. Abram ("high father") became Abraham ("father of many nations"). Jacob ("deceiver") becomes Israel ("wrestles with God"). A name isn't just an equivalent for "that guy", but rather defines who we are.
So what names does scripture give for God? You may be surprised just how many names He has!
