What do we call God? Because of His endless character and because He is so indescribable, He has several names. Each name describes an attribute of God. But God the Father and Jesus Christ the Son, were there through creation, and will always be. God is eternal. God is three persons, but one God. A hard concept but they each work together as one triune God. That is for another post (see The Trinity: God in 3 Persons and the posts that go along with that). Daniel calls God “The Ancient of Days.” In Revelation. Jesus reveals Himself in Revelation as The Alpha and Omega. He is the Beginning and the End, the First and The Last. He is the One who was and is and is to come.

God the Mighty One
God is often talked about as loving and merciful. He is also strong and mighty. God’s power is beyond our imagination. He created the entire universe and everything in it with a word. He defeated armies, He stopped the mouths of lions, He calmed storms, and he gave the breath of life. There is nothing God cannot do. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us, that our sins would be paid and that we would be declared righteous. And He rose Him from the dead and He is sitting at His right hand, and one day will return and take His people home, and reign on this earth. That is the God we serve.

As we have been discussing for some time now, our God has many names. Not many gods as many religions seem to think, but many names that describe His character. It is so hard to describe God. He is so big and beyond our comprehension. Yet He seeks a relationship with us. He desires our love. He loves us so much He sent His only Son to pay for our sins. He is the God of love and mercy and desires nothing more that everyone would come to Him and be saved, but He is also a just God. His judgment is sure. There will be a day when each person will be judged by their works to determine where they will spend eternity. But all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Or, those of us who believe and trust in Jesus Christ, who are sealed by the Holy Spirt, will be judged for our rewards in heaven. Sometimes judgment may come sooner, as He has done to His own people, and to those who oppress His people or others. He is the Lord of Hosts (also called the Lord of Sabaoth), the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He is supreme over the world, the universe, all creatures, all leaders, and His angels. One day Jesus will return with His angels. That will be a glorious day!

Did you know the Bible uses several names for God? In the Hebrew text, God is called different names that are all translated “God” or “LORD.” I do not know Hebrew, but we will learn the different names of God and their meanings together. In the Hebrew culture, names were more than just a way to identify someone. Names described their character, their traits, who they are. So, as we study the names of God, we will learn who God is, and what His character is.
