The Names Of Jesus Christ In The Bible
The names of Jesus Christ reflect various aspects of His identity, mission, and nature. The names of Jesus Christ in the Bible illustrate different facets of His role in salvation, from His divinity to His compassion and guidance.
In our previous Bible study articles we learned the names of God and their meanings. Now we will look at the names of Jesus Christ. God wants to reveal Himself in real and personal ways to you. Which is much better than reading some facts or stories about God. Or knowing about God.
We encourage you to know God in real and personal ways by having a personal relationship and intimacy with Him through Jesus Christ. This is far better than just knowing about God. Or knowing Him in a religious way.
