C. When God gives Himself a name...
Psalms 9:10 NLT
1. When God gives Himself a name, it means God exists and we need to live that way.
2. When God gives Himself a name, it means nothing exists outside of God and there is nothing behind God.
3. When God gives Himself a name, it means that objective truth is vital and is more than our subjective feelings or desires.
