THE NAMES OF GOD

God's name represents the following: (1) God's presence, (2) the revelation of His
character, (3) His power and (4) His authority.
Here are some other points that show the importance God places upon His name:
1. God demands fear (reverence, respect) for His name (Deuteronomy 28:58-59). He
commands man not to take His name in vain (Exodus 20:7).
2. God warns His people not to forget His name (Psalm 44:20-21; Jeremiah 23:25-27).
3. God promises a blessing for those who know His name (Psalm 91:14-16). There is a
blessing for those who think upon His name (Malachi 3:16).
With the significance of the name in mind, let us examine some names used for God in

The Name Jesus
When the fullness of time came, God did satisfy the longings of His people and revealed
Himself in all His power and glory through the name Jesus. Jesus is the Greek equivalent
of the Hebrew name variously rendered as Jehoshua (Numbers 13:16), Jeshua (Ezra 2:2),
or Joshua (Exodus 17:9). Both Acts 7:45 and Hebrews 4:8 show that Jesus is the same
name as Joshua.
Jesus means Jehovah-Savior, Jehovah our Salvation, or Jehovah is Salvation. This is why
the angel said, "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he
shall save his people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21). The identification of the name
Jesus with salvation is particularly evident because the Hebrew for Jeshua is practically
identical to the Hebrew for salvation, especially since ancient Hebrew did not use written
vowels. In fact, Strong's Exhaustive Concordance transliterates Jeshua as Yeshuwa and
the Hebrew word for salvation as Yeshuwah. Although others have borne the name
Jehoshua, Joshua, or Jesus, the Lord Jesus Christ is the only One who actually lived up to
that name. He is the only One who is actually what that name describes.
Jesus is the culmination of all the Old Testament names of God. It is the highest, most
exalted name ever revealed to mankind. The name of Jesus is the name of God that He
promised to reveal when He said, "Therefore my people shall know my name" (Isaiah
52:6). It is the one name of Zechariah 14:9 that encompasses and includes all the other
names of God within its meaning. The New Testament church is identified by the name
of Jesus. In fact Jesus said we would be hated among all men for His name's sake
(Matthew 10:22). The Early Church was persecuted for the name of Jesus (Acts 5:28;
9:21; 15:26), and they considered it a privilege to be counted worthy to suffer for His
name (Acts 5:41). Peter stated that the lame man at the gate Beautiful was healed "by the
name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth" (Acts 4:10). He then explained the supremacy and
necessity of this name in receiving salvation: "Neither is there salvation in any other: for
there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved"
(Acts 4:12). The Apostle Paul wrote, "Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and
given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee
should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth"
(Philippians 2:9-10).
Because of the exalted position of this name, we are exhorted to rely upon the name of
Jesus in all we do or say: "Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the
Lord Jesus" (Colossians 3:17). We teach and preach in the name of Jesus (Acts 4:17-18;
5:28). We cast out devils, speak in tongues, receive supernatural power and protection,
and pray for the sick - all in the name of Jesus (Mark 16:17-18; James 5:14). Signs and
wonders are done by the name of Jesus (Acts 4:30). We pray and make requests known to
God in the name of Jesus (John 14:13-14; 16:23). We gather together in the name of
Jesus (Matthew 18:20). We baptize in the name of Jesus (Acts 2:38).
Does this mean that the name of Jesus is some kind of magical formula? No. For the
name of Jesus to be effective we must have faith in His name (Acts 3:16). We must know
and have faith in the One represented by that name (Acts 19:13-17). The name of Jesus is
unique because unlike any other name it represents the presence of its owner. It
represents God's presence, power, and work. When we speak the name of Jesus in faith,
Jesus Himself is actually present and begins to work. The power does not come from the
way the name sounds, but it comes because the utterance of the name in faith
demonstrates obedience to the Word of God and faith in the work of Jesus. When we call
His name in faith, Jesus manifests His presence, performs the work, and meets the need.
Through the name Jesus, therefore, God reveals Himself fully. To the extent that we see,
know, honor, believe, and receive Jesus, to that extent we see, know, honor, believe, and
receive God the Father (John 5:23; 8:19; 12:44-45; 13:20; 14:7-9). If we deny Jesus, we
deny the Father (I John 2:23), but if we use the name of Jesus we glorify the Father
(Colossians 3:17).
The Bible foretold that the Messiah would declare the name of the Lord (Psalm 22:22;
see Hebrews 2:12). Jesus asserted that He had manifested and declared the name of the
Father (John 17:6, 26). In fact, He inherited His name from the Father (Hebrews 1:4).
How did Jesus manifest and declare the Father's name? He did so by unveiling the
meaning of the name through the works that He did, which were the works of Jehovah
(John 14:10-11). Just as God in the Old Testament progressively revealed more about His
nature and His name by responding to the needs of His people, so Jesus in the New
Testament fully revealed the nature and name of God through miracles, by healings,
through the casting out of devils, and for the forgiveness of sins. Jesus declared the
Father's name by His works; for by them He proved that He was indeed the Father, the
Jehovah of the Old Testament. (See Isaiah 35:4-6 with Luke 7:19-22.) By demonstrating
the power of God in accordance with the prophecies, He proved that Jesus was the name
of the Father. Why is the name of Jesus the full revelation of God? Simply because Jesus
is Jehovah and in Jesus dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, including the role
of Father (Colossians 2:9).
With the significance of His name in mind, let us examine the name of God in the New
Testament. The name of Jesus will be followed from the book of Matthew to Revelations
within the Scriptures.
"And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his
people from their sins. Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son,
and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. And
knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus."
Matthew 1:21, 23, 25

shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me. And John answered him, saying,
Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we
forbad him, because he followeth not us. But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no
man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. For
whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to
Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. " Mark 9:37-39, 41

"Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is

name's sake, because they know not him that sent me." John 15:16, 21

"And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye
shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in
my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. At that day ye shall ask in
my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you. John 16:23-24, 26
"I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine
they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. And now I am no
more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep
through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we
are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest
me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might
be fulfilled. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love
wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them." John 17:6, 11-12, 26

Acts 2:21, 38

"Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name
of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And his name through faith in his name
hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath
given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all." Acts 3:6, 16

"And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name,
have ye done this? Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the
name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead,
even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. Neither is there salvation in any
other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be
saved. But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that
they speak henceforth to no man in this name.And they called them, and commanded
them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. By stretching forth thine hand to
heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus." Acts
4: 7, 10, 12, 17-18, 30

"Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and,
behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood
upon us. And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten
them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted
worthy to suffer shame for his name." Acts 5:28, 34, 40-41

"But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and
the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. (For as yet he was
fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)" Acts
8:12, 16

"Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath
done to thy saints at Jerusalem: And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind
all that call on thy name. But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen
vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of
Israel: For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake. But all
that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on
this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound
unto the chief priests? But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and
declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him,
and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus. And he spake boldly
in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to
slay him." Acts 9:14-16, 21, 27, 29

"To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him

the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days." Acts 10:43, 48

"Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a
people for his name. That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the
Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things. Men
that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." Acts 15:14, 17, 26

"And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I
command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same
hour." Acts 16:18

"When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then certain of
the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the
name of the LORD Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. And
this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them
all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified." Acts 19:5, 13, 17

"Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not
to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus." Acts 21:13
