WHICH NAME?

God has many names. Not one is enough to describe Him. Each one reveals another aspect of His character to us, even though they are only glimpses of Him. We are finite and He is infinite and therefore we will never fully know or comprehend Him. He is incomprehensible because He is God!

Recently I noticed a name of which God says, "This is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations" (Exodus 3:15).

I checked out the concordance and found that this is the ONLY name in the Bible where God actually states, "THIS IS MY NAME FOREVER." It must be very important. Do you know what it is?

God reminded Moses of this name when He spoke to him at the burning bush. He said to Moses, "Thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, the Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you."

We as Gentile believers rarely use this name. And yet God says it is the name by which He wants to be remembered forever! Therefore, if the God of the Bible is our God, we must acknowledge who He is. He is the God of Israel--the God of the land of Israel and the God of the people of Israel. If we do not acknowledge Him as such, we are serving a different God than the one in the Bible.

As He loves Israel, so we must love and stand with Israel. As He loves the land of Israel, because He found it and chose it, so we must love the land of Israel.

We must pass this name on to our children. They also should be familiar with it because God wants it to be remembered in ALL GENERATIONS.
