God Loves Me Part VI

The fourth thing that will help us know more about God comes from His names, especially in Genesis. In the Bible a name said a great deal about a person or thing; in other words, a name denoted the character or nature of the person or thing. In Genesis there are four major names that let us know a great deal about the person and character of God. These names tell us exactly what God wants us to know about Himself. In Psalms 91:1-2 we find these four names are used.

Ps 91:1-2
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High (El Elyon) shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty (El Shaddai). I will say of the LORD (Jehovah), He is my refuge and my fortress; my God (Elohim, in Him I will trust.
