TAKING GOD SERIOUSLY

Exodus 20:7 "You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.”

Names…

Names are more than words Your name represents your: Reputation Character Authority

When we talk of God’s name we talk of His identity

Jesus the revelation of God Hebrews 1:1In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. 3The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.

There is great power in the name of Jesus

God wants His name to be Honoured because of: His character (who He is) His actions

How to honour God’s name:  Don’t misuse it personally  Help others in this  Give God the glory  Live a Christlike life

Philippians 2:9-11 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
