Jehovah has a Son. His name is Jesus. According to the Bible, Jesus is the 'Firstborn of all creation' meaning he is the First spirit creature directly created by Jehovah ( Colossians 1:15 ). All other creations were created thru Jesus.
When describing the events leading to the creation of the first man Adam, the Genesis account stated that God said; "Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness". This is one proof that all creations, spirit and physical, were created with Jesus as the 'Master Worker' of God. Hence, Jehovah God is the Father and Jesus Christ is the beloved Son.
Although these truths are for the mature minds, I will inculcate them to my baby as early as possible so that he/she will become a God-fearing person later.

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.

Name
what I read today to my baby is one of the most basic truth anyone should know.
Everything in this world and everything in the universe has a name. A name distinguishes one from the other. From the smallest of bacteria to the colossal stars, they all have names. In Psalms 147:4, it says, "He is counting the number of the stars; All of them he calls by name."
The astronomers calculate that there are about 50 billion stars in our galaxy alone and there are hundreds of thousands to millions of galaxies spread out there. Isn't it amazing that God calls each one of them by name?
If all of God's creation has a name, don't you think that He also has a name?
What is God's name?

A Letter From A Loving God
To understand how God uses his servants on earth of writing of the Bible, consider this. When we hear the voice of someone on the radio, the voice may come from a person who is far away. When we watch television, we can even see pictures of people in other countries of the world, and we can hear what they are saying.
Men can even go all the way to the moon in their spaceships, and they send messages back to the earth from there. If men can do that, can God send messages fro heaven? Of course he can! And he did it long before men had radio or television..

What i read today...
Right now i'm reading the page 16 of the book " Learn from the Great Teacher" for my baby. It says that the Bible is a letter from our Loving God.
Many people are not comfortable with the idea that God would write a letter for us. When we buy something like an appliances, computers or an automobile, part of the package is the instruction manual to guide us on how to use it optimally, how to prolong it's life span and what to do in cases of trouble or malfunction. Isn't it reasonable to conclude that God would also make an 'instruction manual' for us to know how to use our lives, what is it's purpose and what to do of life's crisis?
Tomorrow the topic would be, How did God do that? Whom does He use as secretaries?

As early as possible...
This week we started to do the lifetime project of rearing our child. Surprised? Nope, according to child psychologists and the advocates of infant education. According to their studies backed by decades of research, an infant inside the womb can be influenced by outside sensations as early as three months. The baby is now going 5 and we thought it would be a right time to read something for him/her anytime of the day although before bedtime is the ideal.
We read the book "Learn from the Great Teacher", it was published by Jehovah's Witnesses in 2003 and it is designed to help parent/s and parent-to-be teach timeless biblical principles that will helped them grow up with proper values, good manners, God-fearing and a useful member of society.We hope that the principles learned will also guide him/her throughout the phases of life.
We implore God's blessing in our humble efforts.
