WHO IS THE TRUE GOD?

THE TRUE GOD HAS A NAME

In the Bible, the true God is identified by such expressions as "God Almighty," "the Most High," "Grand Creator," "Grand Instructor," Sovereign Lord," and "king of eternity."  (Genesis 17:1; Psalm 50:14; Ecclesiastes 12:1; Isaiah 30:20; Acts 4:24; 1 Timothy 1:17) Meditating upon such titles can  help us grow in the knowledge of God. 

However, God has a unique name that appears almost 7,000 times in the Hebrew Scriptures alone-more often than any of his titles.  Some 1,900 years ago, the Jews superstitiously  ceased to pronounce the four consonants that make up the divine name. Some scholar suggest that God's name may have been pronounced "Yahweh,"  but they cannot be sure.  The English pronunciation "Jehovah" has been in use for centuries, and its equivalent in many languages is widely accepted today. -See Exodus 6:3 and Isaiah 26:4 in the King James Version.
