🔊AH-bah

Jesus calls God “My Father,” and we can too. When God adopts us into His family and gives us His precious Holy Spirit, we begin a personal and intimate relationship with Him. He is our Father who loves us and wants the best for us, and we can go to Him as His child.

• Mark 14:36
• Romans 8:15
• Galatians 4:6

🔊 Ah-doh-NAI

This name for God appears about 448 times in the Old Testament as a reverential address of the one true God. God is sovereign and has rule and authority over all. He reigns on high, and He also reigns in the hearts and minds of those who have surrendered their lives to Him. As we travel down the path of life, may we always remember that God has all power and control. He is our Lord, and we are His servants (and not the other way around).

• Psalm 27:1
• Isaiah 6:1

🔊 AL-fuh and Ow-MEH-guh

Alpha and Omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. It’s like saying, “From A to Z,” because both phrases represent the entirety of something. This name speaks of God as eternal and uncreated. He existed before creation when time began and will continue forever when time ceases to exist as we know it. He is also the author and the finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).

• Revelation 1:8
• Revelation 21:6
• Revelation 22:13

🔊 El ChAY

This name occurs about 30 times across the Old and New Testaments. It highlights the character of God as living, active, and powerful. This is, of course, in contrast to the dead, lifeless idols of stone that people used to worship as well as modern-day idols of self and materialism. Our relationship with the Lord can grow and mature over time, and He alone is worthy of worship.

• Jeremiah 10:10
• Psalm 84:2

🔊 El Dee-OH-t

Also rendered El Deah, this name speaks of God’s quality of being omniscient. He is all-knowing and understands all things. It’s an idea that we can acknowledge without really internalizing. Yes, He knows all things, but that also means that He knows us. Psalm 139 illustrates the idea that from the time we were conceived until this very moment, God has had intimate knowledge of us. There is nothing hidden from Him, and nowhere we can go where His loving hands cannot reach.

1 Samuel 2:3

🔊 El EL-YAHN

This name occurs about 28 times in the Old Testament, appearing 19 times in the Book of Psalms. The name emphasizes that God is exalted above all things, including earthly powers and circumstances. He is the ultimate creator, ruler, and redeemer. There is none other like Him or above Him, and there is no greater honor than to sit at His table.

• Genesis 14:18
• Psalm 57:2

🔊 El Ghib-BORE

God’s power and strength are unparalleled. He triumphs in battle, and no enemy is a match for Him. Nothing is too hard for Him to figure out, and no situation is too difficult. When our lives seem impossible and out of control, our Mighty God will fight for us if we will but put our faith and trust in Him.

• Isaiah 9:6
• Isaiah 10:21
• Jeremiah 32:18

🔊 El HAN-ne-eh-MAHN

God is loyal and steadfast. He keeps His promises. When we have surrendered our lives to Him, we never have to wonder if God will be there for us. He said He would, and He doesn’t lie or go back on His Word. As we walk through life, when we see only one set of footprints, it is then that He is carrying us. But just as He is faithful to us, He wants us to be faithful to Him. We must put Him first in every situation and look to Him for help instead of to ourselves or to this world.

Deuteronomy 7:9

🔊 El Know-SEE

The Hebrew word “nose” means to lift, carry, or take. Any time we ask, God forgives us. We can lay our burdens down at the foot of the cross. However, the verse is clear that even when He forgives, God often allows us to receive consequences for our actions. We can never take sin lightly or think it doesn’t matter. We must just be grateful every time He forgives us and takes our sins away.

Psalm 99:8

🔊 El Oh-LAHM

The word “olam” appears more than 400 times in the Bible. It highlights God’s eternal nature, unchanging through all generations. He was, He is, and He always will be. In a world that is constantly changing, what a great comfort we have in knowing that our God will stay the same. His Word will always be true, and it will never pass away.

Genesis 21:33

🔊 El KHA-na

Many times in the Bible, God compares His relationship with His people to a marriage. Like any good “husband,” God is devoted to us and desires intimacy. He wants us to put aside other things that may compete for our attention and keep our hearts and lives focused on Him. After all, when we love the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, we are returning just a fraction of the love that He has for us.

• Exodus 20:5
• Exodus 34:14

🔊 El Rah-HOOM

Also translated “The Merciful God,” this name highlights God’s tender care for His people. He’s filled with love and kindness, slow to anger, and always abounding in forgiveness. When we cry, Psalm 56:8 says that He puts our tears into a bottle. That means that not even one falls to the ground in vain. In Romans 8:28, He promises to make all things work for our good. In the meantime, He never overlooks our sadness but remembers and cares about our feelings.

• Deuteronomy 4:31
• Exodus 34:6
• Joel 2:13
• Psalm 103:8

🔊 El RHO-ee

Sometimes we can feel like nobody sees us, understands us, or cares about what we are going through. But the Bible tells us that God is attentive and compassionate. Matthew 10:29-31 reminds us that God knows everything. He knows when a sparrow falls to the ground, and He knows how many hairs are on our heads. He sees us as we are and loves us anyway.

Genesis 16:13

🔊 El Sah-LEE

Also translated “God, My Rock,” this name was the one David used when the Lord delivered him from the hands of his enemies. In our lives, while we may not have people trying to kill us as David did, we are in a spiritual war. God knows the battles we fight and the trouble we face. He is our strength when we are weak. Like an anchor, He keeps us grounded, a firm foundation that doesn’t move even in the greatest of storms.

• Psalm 18:1
• Psalm 46:1
• 2 Samuel 22:47

🔊 El SHAD-dye

El Shaddai appears seven times in the Old Testament, and “Shaddai” appears 41 more times. This name stresses that God is all-powerful and is well capable of meeting our every need. Also translated “All Sufficient One,” this name sounds a lot like 2 Corinthians 12:9 which says, “And he said unto me, ‘My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.’” There may be times in our lives when we feel that we are weak and lacking, but El Shaddai will be strong on our behalf. His grace is always enough.

• Genesis 35:11
• Genesis 28:3
• Exodus 6:3

🔊 El-low-HEEM

Elohim appears over 2,500 times in the Bible when referring to the one true God. It is the plural for “Eloah,” (appearing over 50 times), to refer to God’s triune nature and to denote extra strength. This name reminds us that God is the supreme and powerful Creator of the heavens and the earth. From the tallest mountains to the tiniest microscopic organisms, He created them all. Everything that exists does so by His pleasure, including us. There are no accidents, and we all have a purpose: to glorify God.

• Genesis 1:1
• Genesis 1:26

🔊 I-MAN-you-el

When Isaiah prophesied, he spoke of the day when God Himself would come to earth to live as a Man. Jesus was born, lived a sinless life, and died on a cross for our sins and shame. The name Emmanuel, sometimes spelled Immanuel, reminds us that God was with His people Israel from the beginning and is still with His people today.

• Isaiah 7:14
• Isaiah 8:8
• Matthew 1:23

🔊 Juh-HO-vuh Ha-MEH-lek

God is sovereign. That means that He has ultimate power and authority, and no one in Heaven or on earth is above Him. The question we must ask ourselves is “Who sits on the throne of our hearts?” Is God in charge of every aspect of our lives (relationships, finances, careers, and even our thoughts and actions), or have we given Him just partial reign? There is an old saying that goes, “Christ is Lord of all or Lord not at all.” We must surrender everything to Christ our King. (See also Yahweh Hamelech.)

• Psalm 98:6
• Psalm 10:16
• Psalm 5:2
• Psalm 89:18

🔊 Juh-HO-vuh Jy-ruh

When we think of the things we need in life, we might think about food, shelter, and clothing. God knows that we need those things, and He will provide them. But the story of Abraham in Genesis 22 reminds us that we have an even greater need. We need a spotless lamb, a sacrifice for our sins. Jesus offered Himself without spot or blemish. He is the Savior we need. (See also Yahweh Jireh.)

Genesis 22:14

🔊 Juh-HOH-vuh Meh-koh-DISH-kem

God sets apart His people and makes them holy. From the inside, He begins His transformational work to make us more like Him. Over time, He cleans up our old habits and old ways of thinking. He changes our desires and priorities. None of us has arrived at perfection yet, but by His grace we are always making progress if we will keep our focus on Him and allow Him to work. (See also Yahweh Mehkoddishkem.)

• Exodus 31:13
• Leviticus 20:8

🔊 Juh-HO-vuh NIS-see

In battle, opposing forces would often attach flags with their insignias to poles at their respective front lines. The banners then created focal points for their forces to give them a sense of unity and hope. Today, we face spiritual battles of our own. This name reminds us that God never leaves His people to fight alone. We belong to Him, and He has already won the victory. (See also Yahweh Nissi.)

Exodus 17:15

🔊 Juh-HO-vuh O-ree

From the moment God, our Creator, said “Let there be light,” He has been associated with it. The Bible uses light as a symbol of goodness, purity, and righteousness. Darkness, on the other hand, is the absence of light. It’s a symbol for sin, hidden intentions, and fear. The Bible tells us that when we walk in the light as He is in the light, we will have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus will cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We must confess all sin, bringing it out into the open, and He will forgive us. (See also Yahweh Ori.)

Psalm 27:1

🔊 Juh-HO-vuh RAW-fuh

The word “rapha” is used over 60 times in the Bible and means healing and restoration. In Exodus 15, the people were thirsty from their travels in the wilderness and had found only bitter water at Marah. God showed Moses how to make the water sweet. He healed the water and then revealed Himself as the “Great Physician” to His people. For those who are in right relationship with Him, He makes Himself available to mend our bodies, minds, and spirits. (See also Yahweh Rapha.)

Exodus 15:26

🔊 Juh-HO-vuh ROE-he

King David started out as a shepherd, so he understood how helpless sheep are on their own. They must be fed, led to water and shelter, and protected from insects and predators. They are completely dependent upon their caretakers for survival. The analogy of God as a Shepherd to His sheep appears all through the Old and New Testaments and is a clear picture of just how desperately we need God in every area of our lives. He is the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for His sheep (See also Yahweh Rohi.)

Psalm 23:1

🔊 Juh-HO-vuh SAB-ay-oth

Found over 270 times in the Bible, this name marks God as the commander of heavenly armies. He defends us, fights our battles, and wins our wars. He has all power over everything on earth and in the heavenly realms. He is in control. (See also Yahweh Sabaoth.)

• Isaiah 6:3
• 1 Samuel 17: 45

🔊 Juh-HO-vuh Shah-LOHM

While Jehovah Shalom is used only once, “shalom” is found in the Bible over 170 times. The word means peace or an absence of strife. God wants to be our source for peace, tranquility, and completeness. Even during trying times, we don’t have to worry. Instead, we can remember how Jesus calmed the wind and the waves in Mark 4:39 with just a few words, “Peace be still.” He had power over the elements while on the boat with the disciples, and He is right there with us in our own lives ready to calm our storms. (See also Yahweh Shalom.)

Judges 6:24

🔊 Juh-HO-vuh SHAH-mah

The original verse is about a time in Israel’s history in which the people were in exile and feeling far from God. It tells about a future day in which God would restore the temple and a right relationship with His people. They would again dwell closely with Him just as we were meant to do from the start before the fall of Adam. Right now, the Lord lives in our hearts, so wherever we are, He is there with us in Spirit. But one day we will be with Him face to face. Oh, what a glorious day that will be! (See also Yahweh Shammah.)

Ezekiel 48:35

🔊 Ji-HO-vuh TSID-kay-noo

As human beings, we are incapable of being “good.” In fact, Isaiah 64:6 calls even our best efforts to clothe ourselves with righteousness “filthy rags.” From Adam and Eve’s first sin that broke fellowship with Him in the Garden of Eden, God has been making a way for people to be reconciled back to Himself. First with the Law and then with His Son’s great sacrifice, He has been and will always be the only way for people to obtain the righteousness we need to stand in His holy presence. Only He can do for us what we could never do for ourselves. (See also Yahweh Tsidkenu.)

• Jeremiah 23:6
• Jeremiah 33:16

🔊 Juh-HO-vuh SOO-ree

The Bible is filled with references to the Lord as our rock and firm foundation. Rocks provided shade, shelter, and safety in the wilderness, and they were used to construct houses, temples, city walls, and altars. In Matthew 7:24-27, Jesus shows us that those who build on the foundation of God’s Word will stand, and those who don’t will fall. God reveals Himself as permanent and faithful, a refuge in the time of trouble. When everything around feels as uncertain as sinking sand, we can stand on Christ, our solid rock. (See also Yahweh Tsuri.)

• Psalm 18:2
• Psalm 18: 31
• 1 Samuel 2:2

🔊 Kah-DOSH IZ-ray-el

To be holy means to be set apart. When God chooses a people for Himself, He takes them out of the world’s ways of doing things and expects them to do things His way. Israel was to follow the Law. Today, Christians are to live by faith. He chose us and called us out of darkness and into His marvelous light. We are now a “holy nation” of our own according to 1 Peter 2:9.

• Isaiah 1:4
• Isaiah 43:3

🔊 YAH-way

“I Am” in Hebrew is “Ehyeh.” At the burning bush, God reveals to Moses His personal, sacred name as the third person form of the same verb, written “YHWH.” In English Bibles, it is translated “LORD” and can be found upwards of 6,800 times in the Bible. The name reminds us that He is completely sufficient and eternally present. When Jesus came to earth to live as a Man, He revealed Himself as God with the seven “I Am” statements in the Book of John. God was, and is, and always will be.

Exodus 3:14-15
