What it means to bear God's name and be God's image
The book 'Bearing God's Name: Why Sinai Still Matters' explores the commandment not to take the Lord's name in vain in a broader sense, encompassing all aspects of our lives./nThe concept of bearing God's name involves representing God and being His representatives on earth./nThe difference between being God's image and bearing His name is that while every human being is the image of God, only the covenant people bear God's name./nThe commandment to not bear God's name in vain is closely connected to the revelation of God's proper name, Yahweh, to Israel./nThe image of God is a universal reality for all people in creation.
