Does God Have a Name? Download The Bible’s answer Humans all have personal names. Wouldn’t it be reasonable for God to have a name? Having and using personal names is a vital part of human friendships. Should it be different when it comes to our friendship with God? In the Bible, God says: “ I am Jehovah. That is my name.” (Isaiah 42:8) Although he also has many titles, such as “ God Almighty,” “ Sovereign Lord,” and “ Creator,” he honors his worshippers by inviting them to address him by his personal name.—Genesis 17:1; Acts 4:24; 1 Peter 4:19. Many translations of the Bible contain God’s personal name at Exodus 6:3. That passage says: “ I used to appear to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as God Almighty, but as respects my name Jehovah I did not make myself known to them.” Jehovah is a rendering of God’s name in English that has been used for centuries. While many scholars prefer the spelling “Yahweh,” Jehovah is the form of the name that is most widely recognized. The first part of the Bible was written not in English but in Hebrew, a language that is read from right to left. In that language, the divine name appears as four consonants, יהוה. Those four Hebrew characters—transliterated YHWH—are known as the Tetragrammaton.

Da li Bog ima ime? Odgovor iz Svetog pisma Svi ljudi imaju lično ime. Zar nije razumno da i Bog ima ime? Imati i koristiti lična imena izuzetno je važno u nekom prijateljstvu. Zar onda to ne treba da bude važno i u našem prijateljstvu s Bogom? Bog u Svetom pismu kaže: „ Ja sam Jehova. To je ime moje“ (Isaija 42:8). Iako on ima i mnoge titule, kao što su „ Bog Svemoćni“, „ Suvereni Gospod“ i „ Stvoritelj“, on svojim slugama iskazuje čast tako što ih poziva da mu se obraćaju po njegovom ličnom imenu (Postanak 17:1; Dela apostolska 4:24; 1. Petrova 4:19). U mnogim prevodima Svetog pisma Božje lično ime se nalazi u Izlasku 6:3. U tom stihu stoji: „ Ja sam se pojavio Avrahamu, Isaku i Jakovu kao Bog Svemoćni, ali svojim imenom Jehova nisam im se objavio.“ Jehova je oblik Božjeg imena koji se na srpskom koristi već više vekova. Iako mnogi izučavaoci radije koriste „Jahve“, Jehova je oblik tog imena koji je postao najprepoznatljiviji. Prvi deo Svetog pisma nije pisan na srpskom već na hebrejskom jeziku, koji se čita zdesna nalevo. Na tom jeziku, Božje ime se pojavljuje u obliku četiri suglasnika, יהוה. Ta četiri hebrejska slova — transkribovana kao JHVH — poznata su kao tetragram.
