FOCUS ON THE SAVIOR’S NAME

Rev. Steve Marlowe

Let us meditate upon the name of the Lord YAH, the Great “I AM”. 

“Then those who feared the Lord YAH spoke to one another,
And the Lord YAH listened and heard them;
So a book of remembrance was written before Him
For those who fear the Lord YAH
And who meditate on His name. 

“They shall be Mine,” says the Lord YAH of hosts,
“On the day that I make them My jewels.
And I will spare them
As a man spares his own son who serves him.”
Then you shall again discern
Between the righteous and the wicked,
Between one who serves God
And one who does not serve Him” (Malachi 3:16-18).

“Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid;

‘For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song;

He also has become my salvation’ ” (Isaiah 12:2 NKJV).

Sing to God, sing praises to His name;

Extol Him who rides on the clouds, By His name Yah,

And rejoice before Him” (Psalm 68:4 NKJV).

Behold, “the name which is above every name,”  YAH!

“Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him ‘the name which is above every name,’  that at the name of YAHSHUA, every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that YAHSHUA the Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:9-11).

 YAHSHUA said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM” (John 8:58).

“Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel:  If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of YAHSHUA the Messiah of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole.  This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’  Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:8-12).

Question, “What happens if I reject the name YAHSHUA for the name Jesus?” According to the Gospel,  “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
