“Yahweh” or even “Jesus,” the two names the Bible uses most often for God. When we don’t use personal names for God, an aspect of the relationship is lost.[21] The biblical pattern of referring to God primarily as Yahweh in the Old Testament and Jesus in the New Testament tells us that God wants to be on a first-name basis with his people. This model of intimacy in relationship between God and his people characterizes both testaments.
Is there a trnsion between reverence and relationsip and respect ehen ee odnt use personal names but instead use proper ones?
