Comment: God made man to show forth His praise (Isaiah 43:7,21). The Holy name of God Almighty, Jehovah is powerful and should not be taken in vain. Among the Ten Commandments given to the Jews through Moses, it is stated, “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain” – Exodus 20:7.
Confirming the glorious majesty of His name, the LORD says: “I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images” (Isaiah 42:8; 48:11). There is none that can be likened to, or compared with Him in majesty. – Isaiah 46:5; 40:18.
However, after Christ’s mission on earth, by which he shed his blood to reconcile fallen man back to the Father, God highly exalted him. (Hebrew 1:1-6; John 5:23). Jesus Christ our Saviour declared: “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” (Matthew 28:18) By praying to God through Jesus Christ, men obtain salvation, deliverance and protection, to the glory of God the Father. “…whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you”. (John 15:16) “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” – Acts 4:12.
