This week we explore the deeper meaning of “name” in scripture. In Acts 4:12, a name is not just a label — it represents identity, purpose, and the role God has assigned to a person before birth.
From Jeremiah being called as a prophet before he was born, to Jesus being revealed as the Son of God, scripture shows that God gives identity before destiny unfolds. The enemy, however, seeks to distort that identity through confusion, temptation, and life’s challenges.
We see this clearly in the life of Jacob. Though God declared his destiny before birth, he lived under the wrong identity until his encounter with God changed his name to Israel. That change brought restoration, peace, and fulfillment of God’s purpose.
In the same way, when we come to Christ, we receive a new identity as Sons of God. The question is: What name do you respond to? The identity the world placed on you, or the identity God has spoken over your life?
