Why is God called Elohim in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

God is called Elohim to emphasize His might, supremacy, and sovereignty as the Creator and Sustainer of all.

The name 'Elohim' is significant, as it indicates God's might, authority, and creative power. In Hebrew, it denotes not only His role as God but also highlights His sovereignty over all creation. Elohim’s attributes remind believers that He is the self-existent One who governs everything, visible and invisible. The Scriptures affirm that God, as Elohim, is not just a distant creator but intimately involved with His creation, guiding and sustaining His people through every circumstance and challenge.
