Different Life: 2nd CommandmentНамуна

The flipside of not misusing God’s name is using it well. In Jesus’s day (and in Jewish culture today), there was such a fear of (or respect for) using God’s name that they wouldn’t even say his name, but instead would substitute it with words like “Lord,” “the Name,” or “heaven.” But Yahweh invites you to know him and call on him by name. His name should be a delight to your lips. A well-spring of joy. A cry of hope and faith. An anchor of salvation.
