The Doctrine of God - (His Names - Part 2)

 

Scripture Reading: The Book of Hebrews

 

Memory Verse: Hebrews 1:1 - 3

 

Lesson Objective: To better understand God through a better understanding of the names by which He has identified Himself.

 

Introduction: In our last lesson, we examined the first six of the twelve names by which God revealed Himself to His people in the Old Testament.  In revealing Himself to His people in this way, He gave His people insight into the different characteristics of Himself, and the various ways in which He ministers to His people in meeting their needs.

 

He reveals Himself to be the totally, all sufficient God, - the only true God - sufficient to every need that mankind has.  As you study these ways in which God manifested Himself to His people, bear in mind that as He always has been, He is, and always will be. He is sufficient to each and every need any of His children may have.

 

In this lesson, we examine the last six of those twelve names by which He has revealed Himself.

 

Your prayer life, and your private worship will be greatly enhanced if you memorize these Old Testament names of God and know what they reveal about God.  As you see how He fulfilled each of these characteristics of Himself, by His different names in His dealing with His people, and when you realize that He is the same today, yesterday, and forever, your faith will be strengthened.

 

I.          The Seventh Revelation of God.

 

             The seventh revelation of God in Scripture is found in Exodus 17:15: And Moses built an altar and called the name of it Jehovah-Nissi.
