Jesus the Teacher: Compendium Series.
40. Why is the revelation of God’s name important? (CCC 206-233)
Compendium states:
In revealing His name, God makes known the riches contained in the
effable mystery of His being. He alone is from everlasting to
everlasting. He is the One who transcends the world history. It is He who
made heaven and earth. He is the faithful God, always close to his people, in
order to save them. He is the highest holiness, “rich in mercy”
(Ephesians 2:4), always ready to forgive. He is the One who is spiritual,
transcendent, omnipotent, eternal, personal and perfect. He is truth and
love.
What does this mean for me?
- Make a list of God’s riches which he has made
known in revealing His name. (eg God is creator, God is faithful, God is
close to his people) Add to this list as you discover more about God.
- At times of praise and times of adversity,
call to mind the riches that God has revealed in His name. Use it to
praise and in times of adversity and/or temptation.
Questions to consider:
- What names do I give to God which resonates in
my heart?
- Do I bear God’s likeness by always being ready
to forgiv
