The document discusses the significance of God's name 'Yahweh' as revealed to Moses, symbolizing His eternal and unchanging nature. It highlights God's faithfulness in fulfilling promises, His role in salvation through Jesus Christ, and the call for individuals to respond to His faithfulness with trust and obedience. The text also addresses philosophical questions regarding the existence of evil in relation to God's omnipotence and benevolence.

1. God is Good

2. Then Moses said to God, “If I come to the people of
Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent
me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what
shall I say to them?” God said to Moses, “I am who I
am.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘I am
has sent me to you.’” God also said to Moses, “Say this
to the people of Israel: ‘The Lord, the God of your
fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the
God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name
forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all
generations.”
- Exodus 3:13-
15

3. •Yahweh (yah-WEH) occurs more than
6,800 times in the Old Testament. It
appears in every book except Esther,
Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Songs. As
the sacred, personal name of Israel's
God, it was eventually spoken aloud
only by priests in the Jerusalem temple.

4. •The name Yahweh comes from the Hebrew word for “I
am.” When God met Moses at the burning bush and
commanded him to go back to Egypt and lead the people
out, Moses asked who he should say has sent him. “God
said to Moses, ‘I am who I am.’ And he said, ‘Say this to the
people of Israel: “I am has sent me to you.”’ God also said
to Moses, ‘Say this to the people of Israel: “The LORD
[YHWH], the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the
God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.”
This is my name forever, and thus I am to be remembered
throughout all generations’” (Exodus 3:14–15).

5. Is Yahweh BAD?

6. Marcion Dualism of God
in OT and NT

7. The Problem of Evil:
•Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he
is not omnipotent.
•Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
•Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh
evil?
•Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him
God?
- Epicurus

12. The Faithfulness of God: Unchanging and
Everlasting
• 1. The Promise-Keeping God:
• God’s faithfulness is rooted in His nature and character.
Numbers 23:19 states, “God is not man, that He should lie, or
a son of man, that He should change His mind. Has He said,
and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not fulfill
it?”
• Unlike human beings, God is unchangeable, and His promises
are sure. Throughout the Bible, we see numerous instances
where God fulfilled His promises to His people,
demonstrating His unwavering faithfulness.

13. • 2. God’s Faithfulness in Our Trials:
• Life’s trials and challenges often leave us feeling
overwhelmed and uncertain. However, even in the midst
of difficulties, God’s faithfulness shines brightly.
Lamentations 3:22-23 declares, “The steadfast love of
the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”
• These verses remind us that God’s faithfulness is not
limited by our circumstances. His love, mercy, and
faithfulness are renewed each day, giving us hope and
strength to endure.

14. •3. God’s Faithfulness in Salvation:
•The pinnacle of God’s faithfulness is revealed in His
plan of salvation through Jesus Christ. In Romans
5:8, we read, “But God shows His love for us in that
while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
God’s faithfulness is demonstrated through the
redemptive work of Jesus on the cross.
•He remained faithful to His promise of salvation,
offering forgiveness, grace, and eternal life to all
who trust in Him.

15. •4. Our Response:
•Understanding the faithfulness of God should draw
out a response from us. As recipients of His
faithfulness, we are called to trust, obey, and serve
Him faithfully.
•In 1 Corinthians 4:2, Paul wrote, “Moreover, it is
required of stewards that they be found faithful.”
•We are entrusted with God’s blessings and are
called to be faithful stewards of His love, grace, and
truth.
