Cross Creek Church Market Share Analysis for July 2026

How do you get to know someone? First, you simply start by asking what their name is. You can’t begin a relationship with someone without knowing what to call them. This was even more true in Old Testament times when names carried a great deal of significance. Biblical names often pointed to an individual’s origin, purpose, or character. This is especially true for God, whose various names highlight aspects of His character, ultimately revealing more about who He is to us. There is only one God, but biblical authors use different names for God when referring to him. In fact, “God” is more of a title than His actual name. In this article, we’ll look a little closer at a couple of different names and titles for God to get a better understanding of who He is. As we learn more about God’s names and character, we begin to know him more intimately and to trust him more fully. This trust ultimately leads us to obedience, repentance, and worship.
