What is the name of our Creator? "God" is not His name; it is His title. When the Hebrew name for God was translated into our English text, it was translated L-O-R-D with all capitals. But "Lord" is also a title, so people have become confused. They think that "Lord" is His title, and "God" is His name. But His name is actually Yahweh, or Jehovah. The name Jehovah is a verb in Hebrew meaning "to be" or literally "the becoming one." It is the name by which God chose to reveal Himself to us, the I Am, the Becoming One, as God becomes to you whatever you might need. Iam your healer-Jehovah-rapha. I am your provider-Jehovah-jireh. I am your peace-Jehovah-shalom. I am your salvation-Jehovah-shua. The name Jehovah-shua was shortened to Jehoshua, then shortened further to Yashua. In the Greek, Yashua is Jesus. So Jesus is the name of our God. He is Jehovah-shua. He is the One who has saved us from our sins. He has become our Savior.
