"You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name." Exodus 20:7

God expects us to honour his Name. In the Bible there are many translations/interpretations of the Name of the Lord. In Judaism, each name of God is significant and describes different character traits such as Justice, Mercy and Provision.  The Jewish people consider God's name to be so Holy that it should not be spoken or written in full.

Adam was given the task of naming in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:19-20, 3:20). In Revelation God promises us He will give us a new name: "To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it." (Revelation 2:17)

Our words are important ~
