“The Creator’s Name” Exodus 3:1-15

TRANSCRIPT

Date: June 6, 2021 Author: Wayne J. Edwards

The picture of the prodigal son running into the arms of his father should bring tears to our eyes, for that is the perfect picture of our salvation. We were reconciled to God, our Heavenly Father, by our expressed faith in Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. The gospel message is cheapened with a lesser purpose – i.e., “believe in Jesus Christ, and you will go to heaven when you die!” In 2 Corinthians 5:20, the Apostle Paul told those who had received Christ as their Savior, having been reconciled with God, they had been given them the ministry of reconciliation. He urged them to go and plead with those who were lost, to see what God had done for them through Jesus Christ, and to receive Him as their Savior and Lord, so they could be reconciled with God! Do you know God as your Heavenly Father? Beloved, a lesser goal offers no assurance of heaven at all!

By every statistical measure, the evangelical church in the West is in great danger.

While there are many different expressions, there are only two major worldviews:

Moses was the first man on earth to hear the proper name of our Creator God!

Moses was also the first man to see the name of God in written form.

But “I AM” was too holy for the Hebrews to use, so they used the term “YAHWEH”, which meant “He Is”, or “He Who Is”, and even this name was not allowed to be spoken by the ordinary people. Only the High Priest could speak it aloud once each year – at Yom Kippur – the holiest day of the year.

God’s desire was to reveal Himself through the names He chose for Himself, according to the need and circumstance:

There are many references in the Scriptures where no specific name of God is used, but where His name is implied and recognized for is power and holiness:

In the New Testament, the Name of Jesus was used and respected in the same way. Why? Because God the Father endured God the Son with all the power and authority of both heaven and earth:

“Abba” is the Aramaic word for “My Father”!
