Jehovah

God's personal name is Jehovah. It is the English pronunciation of the Hebrew word YHWH or more popularly known as the Tetragramaton. In the oldest manuscripts available, the name Jehovah appears more than 7,000 times in the whole Bible (consisting of 66 books). It can be found in Psalms 83:18; Exodus 6:2,3; and Jeremiah 10:10 as an example.

When he was on earth, Jesus Christ made well-known the name of Jehovah as recorded in John 17:26. If all the creations in the universe has a name, would it surprise us that the Maker of all things has a name also?

Yes, God has a personal name - Jehovah. It is the name of the most important personage of the whole universe. And it is to Him alone we should render honor, sacred service, reverence and worship.

These are the truths that I read to my baby today.
