Easter Sunday. Names of God: Jehovah Shalom, The Lord Our Peace

He is the source of true…

Names of God: Jehovah Tsidqenu, The Lord Our Righteousness

This week the words ‘Jehovah Tsidqenu’ cannot be found in any commonly used Bible as they are a transliteration of a Hebrew phrase that is translated as ‘The Lord our Righteousness’ (Jeremiah 23:6 and 33:16) in our English language bibles. Righteousness is an attribute of God. God always does what is right, just, proper, and consistent. When we say that God is righteous, we mean that there is no wrong, dishonesty, dissonance or unfairness. God is the perfectly righteous one and God’s righteousness is an everlasting righteousness

Names of God: Jehovah, The Personal God, The I Am

Jehovah (Or Yahweh) is more like a personal revelation. This is the Personality who takes the initiative and reveals himself to us as covenantal, ethical and passionately involved with humanity. In subsequent scriptures, adjectives are often added to this name to disclose aspects of his personhood. (EG. Peace, Provider, Righteous, Just, Shepherd etc).
