Names of God: Jehovah Rapha

John Sullivan (FBC Trustee + Deacon) - Exodus 15 (Exodus 15:22-27; 2 Kings 5:10; Daniel 4:34; Psalm 34:8; Psalm 103:2-3; 1 Kings 18:30; Luke 4:14-21)

 

Bible study description:

Knowing someone's name is the very start of getting to know someone. It is what we use to call out to someone to get their attention. It is how we identify someone. 

Our God has many names. Each name of God reveals to us His character, His nature, and His attributes. Knowing His names brings us into a deeper relationship with Him because it allows us to know Him on a deeper level.

When we know His names, we can then call out to Him using His names. There is a reason that our God has so many names...there is power in the name of our God! Do you know our God by His names?
