Things To Learn About Hebrew Name Yahweh

By Etta Bowen


God is known by many names. People from all over the world know him by several different names. In the Holy Bible alone, God is known by a number of names. These names help people to identify with God and his teachings in a much easier way. The Hebrews for example know God by the name Yahweh. This name can be further translated in several meanings according to the culture.

To begin with, the Hebrew name helps you learn that God has not beginning and has no end. Many people and especially children bother their parents a lot by asking them where God came from. The best response that parents would give to such questions is that nobody made God. In short, parents make their children understand that God has no end but that he is the creator and former of all things.

God is a supreme being which means he is independent of people. He does not answer to one nor does he need to be told what to do or when to do it. He also does not depend on some supernatural power since he is that supernatural power. He is the giver of life. He has the ability to do whatever pleases him but he is known to be a merciful God.

The Hebrew name also suggests that everything else that is not God has to totally depend on him. This includes human beings and plants that live in any part of the universe. In fact, nothing would be without his support or willingness to allow it to exist. This by itself shows that every other creature is bound to seek help from God since he owns powers and abilities that make success and progress for humans.

God is consistent in his being. He does not keep changing like a chameleon. He is the same since the beginning and will always be the same. This is the reason why he is a dependable God. People can be able to learn from him. They can be able to depend on his mercy and his word. He is always ready to protect his children.

Equally important, you need to know that the name also suggests that God performs what is right for the good of those who trust in him and in his son Jesus Christ. God is righteous and those people who are called by his name will inherit the kingdom of heaven. It is therefore important for every Christian to be a true follower of Jesus Christ so as to get the eternal gift of life.

This name also teaches people to understand that in him is the goodness that all people aim to have. The righteousness of God is something that no mere mortal can be able to accomplish. However, people can try their level best to make sure that they can come close to that level of righteousness.

For your children to learn more about this Hebrew name, you may buy certain Christian books for them to read. It is possible to find different books that contain different names of God with their meaning. On the other hand, you would also buy them movies that show powers behind his names. This would expand their understanding concerning the names of God and what each name means.
