What does the Bible say about God's name?

Answered in 11 sources

God's name reveals His eternal and unchanging nature, as seen in Exodus 3 where He identifies Himself as 'I Am.'

God's name, particularly as recorded in Numbers 6:27, encapsulates His eternal essence and covenantal relationship with His people. In the Old Testament, the name 'Lord,' rendered in capital letters, indicates His unchanging and sovereign character. In Exodus 3:14-15, God reveals Himself to Moses as 'I Am that I Am,' signifying that He is the self-existent, eternal God who is always present and actively involved in the lives of His people. This foundational truth underpins our understanding of His character as the unchanging Jehovah who says, 'I change not.' Therefore, knowledge of God's name is crucial because it assures believers of His faithfulness and consistency throughout generations.
