The Name of the Lord: Why It Still Has Power Today
Why the Name You Call Matters
Have you ever felt overwhelmed, afraid, or unsure where to turn next?
If so, you are not alone. Many believers struggle because they know about God, yet they forget the power found in calling on His name.
As a Bible teacher and faith writer, I have seen this truth change lives. I have also lived it. Therefore, in this article, we will explore why the name of the Lord is more than words. We will also uncover how His name brings comfort, protection, and strength today. Most importantly, you will learn how to use God’s name in faith when life feels heavy.
Why Names Matter in Scripture
Names matter because they carry meaning.
In many cultures, names reveal identity. Likewise, Scripture uses names to show character and purpose.
For example, Abram became Abraham. Jacob became Israel. Each name change marked a transformation. Therefore, names in the Bible are never random.
In the same way, the name of the Lord reveals who God is. It tells us His nature, His authority, and His power. As a result, when we speak His name, we speak truth over our situation.
The Name of the Lord Reveals Who God Is
First, God’s name tells us who He is.
He is the Creator. He is the Ruler of heaven and earth. He stands above every power, every fear, and every challenge.
Because He reigns over all, nothing surprises Him. Nothing defeats Him. Therefore, when you call on the name of the Lord, you call on the highest authority that exists.
This truth brings peace. It also builds confidence. You are not calling on a weak name. You are calling on the name above all names
The Name of the Lord Reveals God’s Character
Next, God’s name reveals His character.
Scripture describes Him as faithful, merciful, loving, and strong. He keeps His promises. He shows compassion. He protects His people.
The Bible says:
“The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.”
Proverbs 18:10 (NIV)
A tower protects people from danger. In the same way, God’s name becomes a place of refuge. Therefore, when fear rises, you can run to Him. When trouble comes, you can trust Him.
The Name of the Lord Reveals God’s Actions
God’s name also tells us what He does.
He rescues. He saves. He provides. He fights for the weak and cares for the needy.
Throughout Scripture, God responds when His people call on Him. He hears. He moves. He acts. Therefore, calling on the name of the Lord is not passive faith. It is active trust.
When you speak His name, you declare belief in His power and His promises.
A Real-Life Example of Calling on His Name
I remember a season when everything felt uncertain. Bills piled up. Fear crept in. Sleep became difficult. However, instead of panicking, I began to pray the name of the Lord aloud.
Each day, I said, “Lord, You are my provider. You are my protector.”
Slowly, peace returned. Clarity followed. Doors opened.
The situation changed, but more importantly, my heart changed. I learned that God’s name carries peace when spoken in faith.
