Psalm 79:9 – “Help us, O God of our salvation, For the glory of Your name; And deliver us, and provide atonement for our sins, For Your name’s sake!”
God’s true name and revelation to mankind is revealed in this scripture. “The God of our salvation”, which is also the name Yeshua (Jesus). Man can only know God as the God of Salvation because man is in need of Salvation, so we only see God through His Salvation.
We also see that the scripture says “and provide atonement for our sins, For Your name’s sake!”, so His name being the God of Salvation is specific to the Office of forgiveness of sins.
So when Jesus says in Mark 16:17 that “In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues”, the phrase “in My name” is not referring to His birth name but His Office as the resurrected Christ who cleanses by the shedding His blood” which represents His life , now the life of all who believe in His name.
It’s a brand new day! Keep enjoying Kharis!
