Names of God
“The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe.” — Proverbs 18:10
In the ancient Near East, a name was not merely a label but a revelation of character. Each name God uses for Himself unveils an aspect of His nature, His relationship with His people, or His redemptive purposes.

Why Names Matter
Section titled “Why Names Matter”When God reveals a name, He is inviting His people into deeper knowledge of who He is. To call upon the name of the LORD is to call upon His very person and character (Romans 10:13).
