Why is God's enduring name significant for our faith today? Everlasting Identity in Psalm 135:13 “Your name, O LORD, endures forever, Your renown, O LORD, through all generations.” (Psalm 135:13) What an Enduring Name Declares about God • Unchanging Character – Malachi 3:6: “For I, the LORD, do not change...” – Hebrews 13:8 shows the same constancy in Christ. • Sovereign Lordship – Isaiah 42:8: “I am the LORD; that is My name! I will not yield My glory to another...” – Exodus 3:14 reveals the self-existent “I AM.” • Covenant Faithfulness – Exodus 34:5-7 links God’s name to mercy, grace, patience, love, and justice. – Psalm 102:12 affirms that His renown spans every era. • Saving Power – Acts 4:12: “Salvation exists in no one else...” – Philippians 2:9-11 lifts the name of Jesus above every other. Why This Matters for Daily Faith • Security—because His name never expires, His promises cannot fail. • Clarity—His revealed name defines truth amid shifting opinions. • Authority—praying, serving, and witnessing carry weight when done in His name (John 17:6, 26). • Hope—each generation can rely on the same faithful Lord, anchoring families and churches today. Putting It into Practice • Speak His name with reverence; it reflects His entire character. • Stand firm on Scripture, trusting the Author whose name proves timeless. • Proclaim the gospel confidently; the saving name of Jesus still rescues. • Pass the story on—help children, friends, and new believers know the name that endures forever.
