Names reveal who you are.
These are some of the names of God.
Elohim
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. - Genesis 1:1
You will find this name over 2000 times in the Bible.
It's Hebrew in origin.
It's plural not singular.
God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." - Genesis 1:26
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. - 2 Corinthians 13:14
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, - Matthew 28:19
What do you learn from God's name Elohim?
1. God is eternal!
He is different than us.
Before there was a beginning, there was God.
He will have no end.
He is infinite!
In the midst of trials, troubles, illness and death, God is there.
By faith, we declare God is with us!
God the Father offers eternal life through Christ His Son by the power of the Holy Spirit through all who will believe.
68 Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life,
69 and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God." - John 6:68-69
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. - Romans 10:9-10
2. God is Creator
He is sovereign Creator of all things.
1 The earth is the LORD's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein,
2 for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers. - Psalm 24:1-2
Look at the gorgeous sunrises and sunsets.
Who can deny the power of the one true living God?
The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is none who does good. - Psalm 14:1
Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker! - Psalm 95:6
13 For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. - Psalm 139:13-14
God has a plan for your life.
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations." - Jeremiah 1:5
Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings, - Psalm 17:8
Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands! - Psalm 90:17
the LORD appeared to him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you. - Jeremiah 31:3
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? - Romans 8:31
I can do all things through him who strengthens me. - Philippians 4:13
Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. - 1 John 4:4
