The Series: Names of God

“For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:13.

This is why we study the names of God.

Paul didn’t always know this… He thought he “knew” God. He thought he knew the heart and purposes of God. He spent many years of his life persecuting, imprisoning and even killing people who didn’t think like him, because he thought he knew God.

Then, on a dusty road, as he traveled to Damascus to inflict more pain and death, he encountered Jesus. And he called out, “Who are you, Lord?”

A series of events followed, including becoming blind, and given instructions to go find a man in Damascus to talk to, he regained his sight, and his life would never be the same, (read all of Acts 9 for more context).

What Paul experienced on that road was forgiveness, freedom from sin, and the righteousness that only Christ offers.

So, when Paul writes to the Romans, he’s speaking from a place of experience, he desperately desires that all would know Jesus, would call upon the name of the Lord, and would be saved. We desperately desire this as well: that everyone would call on the name of the Lord and be saved. And it won’t help us if we don’t know who the Lord is.

He is our Abba Father, Yahweh, the Lord who heals, and the God who sees, He is our Provider and Creator and the Good Shepherd. He is El Shaddai, the Jehovah Shalom. He is our Everlasting God.

Let’s dive into the Word to discover who He is, the meaning behind His names, the revealing of His character through the conversations He has with His people.

Here’s what you need to know:

How does this work:

  1. Gather your friends and invite them in on this journey with you.
