What's in a name and why change it? To discover the reason for God changing the names of Abraham and Sarah, we must first discover the nature and purpose of a name. A name reveals the "authority" of an object or person. The purpose is to bring about or reveal God's will. This is why we are called co-creators with the Divine One.
When God changes a name, He is pointing out a new destiny. It is also called a "status change." You might call it a "spiritual promotion." Through Abraham, that is - by the authority in his name, all the families of the earth will be blessed.
