“Yahweh.” Appearing in the
Scriptures for over 5,300 times, Yahweh is the most common name
by which God revealed Himself to mankind. The Jewish people held
God’s name as sacred, and they were very careful in invoking or
calling Him by His name (Exodus 3:14). Bestowing great respect upon
the name of Yahweh, they later adopted and used another name, Adonai,
to call upon God. The meaning of this name is the Lord of all, in
the following manner: 1) One that exists; 2) One that is the Lord
of life; and 3) One that always was, always is, and will be exist
forever by Himself.
We call God as the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit. The name of the Son of God the Father is Jesus
Christ. This name means He who saves His people from their sins.
