evealed in His command "'You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain'" (Ex. 20:7). David sang: "Praise to the name of the Lord Most High" (Ps. 7:17). "Holy and awesome is His name" (Ps. 111:9). "Let them praise the name of the Lord, for His name alone is exalted" (Ps. 148:13). The Hebrew names El and Elohim ("God") reveal God's divine power. They depict God as the strong and mighty One, the God of Creation (Gen. 1:1; Ex. 20:2; Dan. 9:4). Elyon ("Most High") and El Elyon ("God Most High") focus on His exalted status (Gen. 14:18-20; Isa. 14:14). Adonai ("Lord") pictures God as Almighty Ruler (Isa. 6:1; Ps. 35:23). These names emphasize the majestic and transcendent character of God. Other names reveal God's willingness to enter into a relationship with people. Shaddai ("Almighty") and El Shaddai ("God Almighty") portray the Almighty God, the source of blessing and comfort (Ex. 6:3; Ps. 91:1). The name Yahweh[3], translated Jehovah or LORD, stresses 48
God's covenant faithfulness and grace (Ex. 15:2, 3; Hosea 12:5, 6). In Exodus 3:14, Yahweh describes Himself as "I am who I am," or "I shall be what I shall be," indicating His unchangeable relation to His people. On occasions God even revealed Himself more intimately as "Father" (Deut. 32:6; Isa. 63:16; Jer. 31:9; Mal. 2:10), calling Israel "My Son, and My firstborn" (Ex. 4:22; cf. Deut. 32:19). Except for Father, the New Testament names for God carry equivalent meanings to those of the Old Testament. In the New Testament, Jesus used Father to bring us into a close and personal relationship with God (Matt. 6:9; Mark 14:36; cf. Rom. 8:15; Gal. 4:6). God's Activities Bible writers spend more time describing God's activities than His being. He is introduced as Creator (Gen. 1:1; Ps. 24:1, 2), Upholder of the world (Heb. 1:3), and Redeemer and Saviour (Deut. 5:6; 2 Cor. 5:19), carrying the burden for humanity's ultimate destiny. He makes plans (Isa. 49
