Why is having a new name important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Having a new name signifies the removal of reproach and the establishment of a new identity in Christ.

In biblical terms, a name often represents one's identity and standing. For Christians, receiving a new name, as described in the sermon, symbolizes the transformation that comes with being united to Christ. It signifies the removal of the old identity marked by sin and shame. This new identity in Christ ensures that believers are called holy and righteous, dwelling in a relationship that allows them to embody the characteristics of their husband, Jesus. This is not merely a legal change but a profound spiritual reality.
