“God said to him, Your name is Yaakov (Jacob), but you will be called Yaakov no longer; your name will be Israel. Thus He named him Israel.”
Genesis 35:10 CJB
Just like Ya`akov (Jacob, heal snatcher, trickster) God has changed our name when we repented and became His! He changes who we were to who we are in Him, His children!
“Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; before, you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.”
1 Peter 2:10 CJB
We all were once lost in the world, doing ungodly things. Now we are the people of God, called by His holy name!
“But now this is what Adonai says, He who created you, Ya`akov, he who formed you, Israel: Don’t be afraid, for I have redeemed you; I am calling by your name; you are mine.”
Isaiah 43:1 CJB
When you belong to God, we take on His name like Ya`akov, Jeremiah and Daniel all their names mean God or Yah is my judge or I’m governed by Him! The same goes for us we are called His children, so let us walk in His ways and share His Good News of Salvation today!
