Why is it important for Christians to understand God's names?
Answered in 1 source
Understanding God's names, such as Jehovah Jireh and Jehovah Rapha, reveals His character and His promises to His people.
God's names, such as Jehovah Jireh (The Lord will provide) and Jehovah Rapha (The Lord that heals), provide insight into His character and assurance for His people. These names are not mere titles; they are testimonies of what God has promised to do and what He is actively doing in the lives of His believers. When Christians understand these names, they can rely on God's provision in their spiritual and practical needs. For instance, knowing Him as the Lord our peace (Jehovah Shalom) gives believers confidence in facing life’s struggles, understanding that true peace is found only in Christ. This knowledge encourages faith and trust in God's plans and provisions.
