What's in a Name?

A name is very important. If your name was Joe and you were walking down the street, there is little chance that you'd acknowledge someone shouting, "Hey, Frank...Frank...oh Frank!!!" So it is with God. I did not say gods. I mean the One True and LIVING God Who created the universe.

His enemies and those who don't believe His Name is important wish to remove even his TITLE from the Pledge of Allegiance. The simple phrase UNDER GOD really gets under their skin.

God is real and His arch enemy, satan is as well. satan knows that God's Name is powerful probably more than any human realizes. When Thomas (the doubter) saw Jesus enter the room, not using the door seconds after loudly proclaiming he would not believe, Jesus had him examine his body, to touch the scars, put his hand in the wound in his side. Thomas' reply was a profound one. He said "My Lord and my GOD!" Jesus is deity as in God, the Son. Scripture further said that Jesus gave people the power to become children (sons and daughters) of God even to those WHO BELIEVED ON HIS NAME!

Acts 4:12 proclaims, "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved."

Do NOT be amazed at satan's attempt to mess with Jesus' Name. He knows it is poweful and he knows that his days are numbered. That's why he has so many people like puppets uttering his name. After all, when was the last time you heard someone say, "Oh Buddha!" when they hit their thumbnail with a hammer?
