The Cross Represents My Love

 When we face trials and difficulties, we are often tempted to ask, "God, do you love me?"  

The following lyrics are God's answer to this question. These lyrics can be sung to the melody of Teresa Teng's all-time hit 'The Moon Represents My Heart'.

The Cross Represents My Love

You're asking if I do love you,

And if my love is true.

Lift your eyes up high,

Look at Calvary's sky,

See who suffered on the cross.

The greatest love that I could show:

To let my life blood flow,

To save your soul,

And to make you whole,

Redeemed, a child of God.

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?

Moses encountered God in the burning bush. He was commissioned to set the people of Israel free from slavery in Egypt. And he needed to know the name of the God who had appointed him to this task. So 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?' (Exodus 3:12).

God replied, "I AM WHO I AM." He continued, "Say to the people of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.' YAHWEH, 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."

God refers to himself as 'I AM'. And he instructs us to refer to him as 'YAHWEH' which is the third person masculine gender meaning 'HE IS'! God's name is a declaration of his divine self-existing state from eternity to eternity.

The amazing truth of Christianity is that we worship the only self-existing God - the great 'I AM'. And the name by which we are to refer to God is our declaration of faith that 'HE IS'. The book of Hebrews tells us that if we would draw near to God we must believe that 'HE IS'. In other words, we must believe in 'YAHWEH' the self-existing 'I AM'.
