Names of God
Throughout Scripture, God reveals who He is through His names. Each one tells us something true about His character. Most of us were never taught what they mean.
Yahweh
Pronounced YAH-way
“I Am Who I Am”
The personal name God gave Himself when Moses asked who was sending him. It speaks of a God who simply is: eternal, unchanging, and faithful to every promise.
God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.”
Exodus 3:14
Yeshua
Pronounced yeh-SHOO-ah
“God Saves”
The Hebrew name of Jesus. Before He was born, the angel told Joseph exactly what to name Him, and why.
Thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Matthew 1:21
El Shaddai
Pronounced el shah-DYE
“God Almighty”
The name God used when He came to Abraham with a promise that seemed impossible. All-powerful, all-sufficient, able to keep His word.
I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
Genesis 17:1
Adonai
Pronounced ah-doe-NYE
“Lord, Master”
A title of honor and surrender. To call Him Adonai is to say He leads and we follow.
O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
Psalm 8:1
