The Name

2 Kings 15,16; Hosea 1; 1 Hebrews 1 

“So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs. For to which of the angels did God ever say, ‘You are my Son; today I have become your Father’? Or again, ‘I will be his Father, and he will be my Son.’?”

Hebrews 1:4-6

Jesus has been given a name above every other name and that name carries with it authority. Those adopted into God’s family are called sons and daughters, brothers and sisters of Christ. We, too, have been given God’s name to establish our identity and authority in his kingdom. We have been baptized into the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This new identity in Christ must transform us from any other identity we carried prior to knowing Christ. Our spiritual authority has been given to us by our Father and is essential in resisting Satan and his temptations, lies, and deceptions.

Do we know our name in God’s family?

Are we living into our new identity as sons and daughters of the Lord God?

“Lord Jesus, your name has delivered me, healed me, and empowered me, for your glory.”
