Understanding the Name of God

God's name, Yahweh, emphasizes His role as the creator and sustainer of all things. When translated as 'Lord' in English, the essence of the name is often lost, creating ambiguity about God's identity. The declaration 'I am the Lord your God' can misleadingly imply the existence of other gods, unlike the clarity of 'I am Yahweh,' which asserts His unique authority and relationship with His people. This reinforces the idea that understanding God's name is crucial for grasping His character and the nature of His divine intervention.
