Ever since 1970, when God became real to me. I became interested in the many Names of God. Each one of his names teaches us more about Him. In the blank pages of my Bibles, I jotted down each new name and the Scripture reference.
This list of God’s names is by no way comprehensive, but they have been helpful in getting to know God.
