Son of God & Faithful and True | Advent Ep. 2

In this conversation, Rebecca and Jennifer discuss that Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus is declared to be the Son of God by God both at Jesus' baptism and at the Transfiguration. Rebecca and Jennifer also discuss the Lord's character of faithfulness, emphasizing that unlike humans, God remains constant and unchanging in His nature. Our perceptions of faithfulness can be influenced by our own experiences and emotions, but God's faithfulness is unwavering. 

Studying the names of the Lord allows us to know Him better and to deepen our understanding of His character. Psalm 9:10 says, "Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you."  To study the names of the Lord is to know Him better, and the more we learn about the Lord, the more we will understand that He is worthy of all of our praise and trustworthy to meet all of our needs.
