Jesus made God's name known. In prayer to his heaven Father, Jesus said: "I have made you name known (John 17:26) In line with Jesus' example, Jehovah's organization does everything possible to help others to come to know God's name> The New Word Translation of the Holy Scriptures has played a significant role in this by restoring God's name to its rightful place. This Bible translation is now available in whole or in part in 720 languages. In Appendixes A4 and A5 of this translation, you will find details regarding the restoration of God's name in the Bibler. Appendix C, which is found in the Study Bible, provides extensive proof that God's name should appear in the Christian Greek Scriptures 237 times.
Like Jesus, we want to help as many people as possible to come to know God's name. On learning that God has a name, a 67-years old woman in Myanmar was moved to tears and said: "This is the first time in my life that I have heard God's name is Jehovah. . . . You have taught me the important thing I could ever learn." As this experience shows, learning God's name can have a powerful effect on honesthearted people.
