Christian Literature for teens

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,

a workman who does not need to be ashamed

and who correctly handles the word of truth.

 

2 Timothy 2:15

 

When I choose what I need to teach God's teenagers, I think back to those things that brought me to a closer relationship to Him. This study on the Names of God will teach some exciting 'deep things' of God. I think it will help you to know HIM!

 

When God's people learned to know Him in a new way,

they gave Him the Name that described what they had learned about Him!

 

Look into a Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic word study of the Bible!

If I find a link on the web, I will add it ...I am seeking too!

The Names of God!   page 1, page 2, page3   To help you pronounce some of these names, I have added what I believe to be the correct sounds of the syllables. This is based souly on what I have been taught. I am not an authority on Hebrew or Aramaic words. If you know for certain of a different sound, please enlighten me with your source as proof!   ©1999 Cherbear     THE SINGLE NAMES OF GOD!     EL - (el) - The Strong One El a single title that occurs about 250 times in the scriptures. This title was often connected with such Divine qualities as: Almighty, Everlasting, The Living, and A Faithful, God. El brings for the character of strength and that God, El, is the first-cause of all things, proceeding heaven and earth!   ELOAH - (el-oh-uh) -The Mighty One This presents God as the one supreme object of worship. It is a singular title used about 50 times. This word is derived from Ahlah (ah-la) meaning to worship, or adore! Eloah is the one supreme object of worship.   ELOHIM (el-oh-HEEM) - The Almighty This is the plural form of Eloah. It is used about 2,500 times.

Box 69 England, Arkansas 72046   JEHOVAH (jeh-ho-vuh) - "HE IS" - The Self-Existing One This is the most frequently used name and is translated "the LORD".

Box 2273 Palm Beach, Florida 33480 From Dr. Ben David Lew     In this Bible ...these Names for God are featured below the verse where they appear. Knowing the names of God can help you understand the verse. There are books that will help you with Word studies in the Bible.
