In this enlightening video, Michael Heiss delves into the profound question: "What's in a Name?" Specifically focusing on the name of God, Mr. Heiss guides viewers through a comprehensive biblical study, beginning with the revelation of Yahweh in the book of Exodus. He meticulously connects the divine name to concepts like God's eternal existence and His role as the Logos, emphasizing that Yahweh is not merely a title but God's very essence.
Mr. Heiss explores the distinction between God's name (Yahweh) and His titles (Elohim, El Shadai), revealing how God chose to reveal Himself as a covenant-making God through His name. A pivotal section of the video is dedicated to Exodus 34:5-7, where Michael Heiss unpacks God's attributes of mercy, graciousness, and long-suffering, clarifying misunderstandings about generational sin by cross-referencing with Ezekiel 18. Mr. Heiss explains that God punishes continued sin, not the actions of past generations in isolation.
Furthermore, Mr. Heiss draws parallels between God's nature and the description of love in 1 Corinthians 13, showing how every attribute of God—patience, kindness, truth, and unfailing love—is bound up in His name. He highlights how walking in God's name, as mentioned in Micah, means living by His commandments and attributes. The video concludes with Mr. Heiss discussing the ultimate power in the name of Jesus, presented as the "password" to the Kingdom of God and eternal life, emphasizing God's unwavering loyalty and dedication to His people. This insightful discussion from Michael Heiss offers a deeper understanding of the divine character revealed through God's name.
