When we want to get to know someone, one of the first things we ask is, “What’s your name?” But knowing someone’s name can become so much more than simply knowing what to call them. Over time, their name can remind us of who they are and what they are like.
The same is true of God. When God revealed His name to Moses, He also revealed His character:
“The LORD—the LORD is a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and abounding in faithful love and truth.” — Exodus 34:6
God didn’t simply tell Moses His name. He showed him who He is. He is compassionate. He is gracious. He is slow to anger. He is full of faithful love and truth.
When we begin to question God’s goodness or wonder if His love is conditional, we can return to His character. We can remind ourselves of who He has always shown Himself to be and ask Him to help us know Him more deeply.
To truly know God’s name is to know His character. Look to Jesus, remember who He is, and let what He has done for you shape the way you see everything.
