Encouragement in Christ JESUS, our inbound KING OF GLORY!
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." -Romans 10:13 [KJV]
The
NAME OF THE LORD signifies the Lord Himself. His name reveals WHO He
is, WHAT He has done, WHY He did it, and WHERE He is now! And none
other NAME can save (Philippians
2:6-11).
Jehovah-jireh "The LORD
will provide" (Genesis
22:13-14).
Jehovah-rapha "The LORD
that healeth" (Exodus
15:26).
Jehovah-nissi "The LORD
our banner" (Exodus
17:8-15).
Jehovah-shalom "The LORD
our peace" (Judges
6:24).
Jehovah-ra-ah "The LORD
my shepherd" (Psalm
23:1).
Jehovah-tsidkenu "The LORD
our righteousness" (Jeremiah
23:6).
Jehovah-shammah "The LORD
is present" (Ezekiel
48:35).
To call upon His name is to humble
ourselves before Him, to recognize His majesty, to believe His
promises, and to hope in His mercy.
