Did you know that most names have special meanings? Ask your parents why they chose to name you your name. You will uncover interesting stories and insights!

Let's talk about names of God and their meaning. In Bible times, names meant a lot. Not only did names label and describe people, but many times names were a statement of the faith and hope of the person who named them.

When God was involved in naming or renaming a person, the name given would someday define them. When Moses encountered God on Mount Sinai, he wanted to know God’s personal name. God said, “I Am.” The closest Hebrew word for “I am” is Yahweh.

In fact, the word “Hallelujah” means, “Praise to YAH” (Yahweh)! By singing Hallelujah, you are praising God using His unique and personal name.

Below is a challenge for you to connect with God, and ask Him, what each name of God means to you.
