Day 284. Why is God’s Name sacred? (2025)

Today is day 284 and we are studying The Third Commandment.

284. Why is God’s Name sacred?

God’s Name reveals who he is—his nature, his character, his power, and his purposes. All forms of God’s Name are holy. (Exodus 3:1–15; 34:5–7; Psalms 8; 54:1; 79:9; Isaiah 57:15; Luke 1:46–49)

We will conclude today a Prayer for the Ministry to the Sick found on page 226 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
