What does the Bible say about a good name?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches that a good name is to be valued highly, as it reflects one's character and reputation in the eyes of God.

Scripture indicates that a good name is more desirable than great riches, highlighting its significance in the believer's life. In Ecclesiastes 7:1, it says, 'A good name is better than precious ointment,' illustrating that a respected name carries profound value. God's view of a name emphasizes its meaning and importance, suggesting that our names reflect our identity and should be treated with care and respect. Thus, maintaining a good name is essential for living in accord with God's will and for the advancement of His glory.
