The Covenant Names of God

Book excerpt: The name known to Abraham and formally given to Moses, YHVH, is associated with eight names throughout scripture. This book looks at each in-depth, beginning with the background story and the Biblical character first associated with the name. The meaning behind each name is also explored, along with its inspirational implication for the reader's spiritual life. Additionally, the book shows how the names reveal the nature of God and endure through New Testament writings, especially their fulfillment in the person and nature of Christ. As each chapter reveals a unique name, we learn more and more about the nature and compassion of God, and we, in turn, will gain a deeper appreciation for our Lord. Finally, the principles revealed through the covenant names of God demonstrate his unwavering compassion and faithfulness to us.
