Title: Names of God; part 28. Being a son in the house of YHVH.

Under our study of the name, The Lord my Shepherd, we have begun a further study into what it means to be a son in the house of the Lord, being guided by the Lord our Shepherd.

Psa 23:5 Thou dost prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil;

My cup overflows.

Psa 23:6 Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

This led us to the voice of the Shepherd Himself.

Joh 8:31 Jesus therefore was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you abide in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine;

Joh...

Title: Names of God; part 27. Being a son in the house of YHVH.

Rom 10:8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" - that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,

Rom 10:9 that [namely] if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved;

Rom 10:10 for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.

A Jew frequently stated the name of God in prayer and in ritual. If they believe in Jesus then His name is confessed as Adonai.

So why does confession result in salvation in verse 10? If he believes and doesn't confess is he...

Title: Names of God; part 26. Being a son in the house of YHVH.

1Jo 3:1 See how great a love the Father has bestowed upon us [perfect tense: it is our permanent possession], that we should be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

1Jo 3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we shall be. We know that, when He appears, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him just as He is.

1Jo 3:3 And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

Title: Names of God; part 25. Being a son in the house of YHVH.

All of God's sons and daughters are slaves of righteousness. Faith in who they are causes them to purify themselves.

1Jo 3:1 See how great a love the Father has bestowed upon us [perfect tense: it is our permanent possession], that we should be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

1Jo 3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we shall be. We know that, when He appears, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him just as He is.

The inward man is to be conformed to Christ's image now, which is a continual growth. The outward man manifests Him to the world and serves others...

Title: Names of God; part 24. Being a son in the house of YHVH.

All of God's sons and daughters are slaves of righteousness. Faith in who they are causes them to purify themselves.

Jo 3:1 See how great [Greek: "from afar"] a love the Father has bestowed upon us [permanently], that we should be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

1Jo 3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we shall be. We know that, when He appears, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him just as He is.

It has not been made manifest at any time what we shall be, not to others and not to ourselves. We cannot really imagine ourselves in resurrection bodies...

Title: Names of God; part 23. Being a son in the house of YHVH.

All of God's sons and daughters are slaves of righteousness. They can be disobedient slaves, but they can't get apart from the seed that is in them, and if it takes until eternity to recognize this: we are all slaves of righteousness.

This is an extremely important principle to understand and it is often confused in the minds of believers. We are all sinners, but there is something about the believer, courtesy of the grace of God, that makes him/her a slave of righteousness.

I read something today that I want to share before we move on concerning our status as the bride of Christ. It relates to our status as sons of God.

"The third incomparable grace of faith is this: that it unites the soul to...

Title: Names of God; part 22. Being a son in the house of YHVH.

YHVH roiy [ro-ee], "the Lord is my Shepherd," Psa 23:1.

In verse five, the figure of the Shepherd fades away and the figure of a Host appears who takes the weary traveler into his house with the words of peace, which guarantees that His best will be given and that He will protect his guest to the point of His own death.

Psa 23:5 Thou dost prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;

Thou hast anointed my head with oil;

My cup overflows.

The guest is anointed with perfumed oil, given a magnificent banquet, and his cup is always full to excess. His enemies can only look on; because of the Host, they can do nothing to stop...

Title: Names of God; part 21. The house of the Shepherd and the sons who live there.

YHVH roiy [ro-ee], "the Lord is my Shepherd," Psa 23:1.

Psa 23:1 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

Psa 23:2 He makes me lie down in green pastures;

He leads me beside quiet waters.

Psa 23:3 He restores my soul;

He guides me in the paths of righteousness

For His name's sake.

Psa 23:4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I fear no evil; for Thou art with me;

Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.

In vs. 5 the figure of the Shepherd fades away...

Psa 23:1 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

Psa 23:2 He makes me lie down in green pastures;

He leads me beside quiet waters.

The pastures of fresh and tender grass are where we lay at ease, where rest and enjoyment are combined.

The Hebrew word, naah, is a resting or dwelling place and specifically an oasis, a verdant spot in the desert.

Jer 17:8 "For he...

Title: Names of God; part 19. The compound names of YHVH ... "I am _______."

Compound names of YHVH. "I keep on being that which I keep on being." The compound provides the "that" of which He always was, is, and will be.

YHVH yireh (He has, is, and will always provide). On this very hill God would provide is only begotten Son as a sacrifice for the sins of the world.

YHVH roph'ekha (who keeps healing you) or YHVH your physician. Rapha = physician, but added is the suffix kah - the singular "you" or "your". I was, am, and always will be your personal Physician.
