What’s in a name? Learning the intimate names of God
The name “God” carries with it a lot of preconceptions. When you think of God, do you think of a loving Creator? An angry judge sitting on his throne in faraway heaven? What does that title mean to you?
There’s much more to God can be encompassed in a single name or title–so you might be surprised at the huge variety of names that are applied to God throughout the Bible. In an article at StudentSoul.org, Scott Harris introduces us to several of the unique names for God used in the Bible–names like Pater, Yahweh, El Shaddai, and Kyrios–and explains what each name teaches us about God. If you’ve only ever thought of the Divine Being as “God,” take a few minutes to learn some of his other names!
