Jehovah's Name, What it should mean to us.

Theme text, You are my witnesses, declares Jehovah. Isaiah 4310.

Song 2. Jehovah is your name. Focus. To show our role in the sanctification and vindication

of Jehovah's name. Paragraphs 1 and 2.

Question.

How do we know that Jehovah's Name is important to Jesus?

Jehovah's Name is of utmost importance to Jesus.

He is the principal one who upholds His Father's name.

As the preceding article showed, Jesus was willing to

die for Jehovah's name and all it represents. And after his thousand-year reign, Jesus will be willing

to give up all authority for the sanctification of Jehovah's name. Jesus' love for God's name also reveals a lot about his relationship with his father.

It proves beyond any doubt that Jesus loves the person represented by that name.

Jesus came to the earth in the name of his father. He made known his father's name to his followers.

He taught in Jehovah's name and performed miracles in that name. In fact, Jesus asked Jehovah to watch over his disciples

on account of his own name. John 1711. So then, if Jesus felt that strongly about

Jehovah's name, how can someone claim to be a genuine follower of Christ and not know or use

the name of his father? Paragraph 3, question, what will we discuss in this article?

As Christians who try to follow in Jesus' footsteps, we treasure the name of his father.

In this article, we will see how Jehovah's name identifies those who are proclaiming the good news of the kingdom,

Matthew 2414.

We will also discuss what the name of Jehovah should mean to us personally.
