How do we know Jesus is our Good Name before God?

The sermon asserts that while maintaining a good reputation is important among men, it will not suffice to recommend us before God. The only name that truly matters is that of Jesus Christ, who lived a life of perfect obedience to God’s law. The speaker emphasizes that our own efforts or reputations fall short of God’s glory. Relying upon the name of Jesus, which represents His righteousness and redeeming work, is what ultimately secures our standing before God. He is the Good Name that advocates for us, as indicated in Matthew 1:21, where He came to save His people from their sins.
