Savior & I AM | Advent Ep. 3
In this conversation, Rebecca and Jennifer discuss the significance of studying the names of the Lord 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.
Two names discussed in this episode:
Savior
Luke 2:11, "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord."
2 Timothy 1:10, "and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel."
Other Scripture references: 1 John 4:14; John 4:42; Isaiah 42:6-7; Isaiah 49:6; Isaiah 49:26
I AM - From the Hebrew verb meaning "to be"
Exodus 3:14, "God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM.' And he said, 'Say this to the people of Israel: 'I AM has sent me to you.'"
Other Scriptures mentioned: John 8:23-24, 58; Hebrews 13:8 - "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."
Takeaways:
We study the names of the Lord to know Him better.
The names of the Lord teach us who He is and about His character.
The more we know about him, the more we will trust him.
'I Am' signifies God's all-encompassing nature.
