Genesis 35: What Would Be Your Name?

Key Scripture

Genesis 35

In Genesis 35, God changes Jacob’s name to Israel — showing us that God does not define us by our past mistakes, struggles, or failures, but by His purpose and promise for our lives.

Discussion Points

• Names carry identity and meaning.
• Jacob’s old identity represented struggle and deception.
• God gave Jacob a new name connected to purpose and destiny.
• Many people today live under labels placed on them by pain, fear, trauma, addiction, or rejection.
• God still transforms identities and restores purpose.

Wellness Reflection

Mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness begin with understanding who you are. Healing starts when we stop agreeing with negative labels and begin embracing God’s truth about us.

Questions for Reflection

1. What labels have you carried that no longer belong to you?
2. What would your new name represent in this season of life?
3. Are you living from your past identity or your God-given purpose?

Encouragement

Your past may explain part of your story, but it does not determine your future. God specializes in new beginnings and renewed identity.
