Whats in a name or what name do you answer too? According to Merriam-Webster's dictionary, "a name is a word or phrase that constitutes the distinctive designation of a person or thing."
What name do you answer too
In the old testament names were given to denote both the circumstances or characteristics that they hoped to see manifested in the child or surrounding the birth of the child. The names given to some of us may or may not have been given with much thought but it is not the name that is given to us that is important now but the name we answer to. As one writer says, "the person who we allow to define us will determine our destiny."
The value of a name
Companies know the value of a good name. Some companies would even change there names to foster a more positive identity. God who is our loving father has chosen special names by which we all can be known. He calls us friends, sons of God, blessed, the righteousness of God, chosen ones, a royal priesthood, redeemed and conquerors. Which name will you choose!
