Chapter 3 - WHO IS THE TRUE GOD?

Conclusion of: WHY YOU SHOULD USE GOD' NAME

Stubborn Pharaoh and his army, with hundreds of war chariots, set out to recapture his slaves. As the Egyptians drew near, God miraculously divided the Red Sea so that the Israelites could cross on dry land.  When the pursuers entered the seabed, Jehovah "kept taking wheels off their chariots so that they were driving them with difficulty.  The Egyptian warriors cried "Let us flee from any contact with Israel, because Jehovah certainly fights for them against the Egyptians."  But it was too late.  The vast walls of  water crashed down and  "covered the war chariots and the cavalrymen belonging to all of Pharaoh's military forces."  (Exodus 14:22-25, 28) Jehovah thus made a great name for himself, and that event has not been forgotten to this day. -Joshua 2:9-11.

The name that God has made for himself has great meaning for us today.  His name, Jehovah, stands as a guarantee that all he has purposed he will cause to come true.  That includes accomplishing his original purpose that our earth has become a  paradise.  (Genesis 1:28: 2:8)  To that end, God will eliminate all opposers of his sovereignty today, for he has stated:  "They will have to know that I am Jehovah."  (Ezekiel 38:23) Then God will fulfill his promise to deliver his worshipers into a new world of righteousness. -2 Peter 3:13.

All who want God's favor must learn to call upon his name in faith.  The Bible promises:  "Everyone who calls on the name Jehovah will be saved."  (Romans 10:13)  Yes, the name Jehovah has rich meaning.  Calling upon Jehovah has rich meaning.  Calling upon Jehovah as your God and Deliverer can lead you to endless happiness.
