從聖經學怎樣向美國人有教養的自我介紹-Who is God-第一課

Who is God 神的名字

          When we meet someone, we usually say 'My name is ..."What is your name ", also when we introduce a friend or co-work than we usually say "His/her name is ...."

請注意，當你想認識別人的時候，一定要先介紹自己，這是教養。人都有防備的自然之心，當你不願意敞開自己的心胸先讓別人了解你的時候，別人沒有義務讓你了解。

When we talk about God , So many people have their idea :

Laotian ye or something else.

You never will get a clear idea more than to ask the person who you want to know. 

Let us ask God himself! You are not the first or only one to ask God's name.

Thousands of years ago，The Israelites asked God "What is his name".

God wrote a love letter to us which is the Bible .In the bible God gave us the answer about his name :

Listen, Here is God's Answer：

 Exodus 3

  13 Then Moses said to God, 『If I go to the Israelites, they may not believe me. I will say, 「The God that your ancestors worshipped has sent me to you.」 But then they will ask me, 「What is his name?」 Then what will I say to them?』

 God said to Moses, 『I am who I am! Say this to the Israelite people: 「I AM has sent me to you.」 』

 God also said to Moses, 『Say this to the Israelite people: 「It is the Lord God who has sent me to you. He is the God that your fathers worshipped. He is the God of your ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.」 That is my name for all time. All generations of my people must call me by that name.

I am who I am!.

出埃及記三章十三至十五節

 摩西對上帝說：我到以色列人那裡對他們說，你們祖宗的神打發我到你們這裡來，他們若問我說，他叫什麼名字，我要對他們說什麼呢？上帝對摩西說：我是自有永有的。又說：你要對以色列人這樣說，那自有的打發我到你們這裡來。上帝又對摩

 西說：你要對以色列人這樣說：耶和華你們祖宗的上帝，就是亞伯拉罕的神、以撒的神、雅各的神打發我到你們這裡來。耶和華是我的名直到永遠，這也是我的紀念直到萬代。

God has used many names .In English ,We ussally say "God","Lord "or "Heavenly Father「

Each name has a special meaning .

Each meaning tells us somthing about "God"and what he is like 

Lord is an old English word that means a man wo owns land .

If you live in a rented house ,You pay the rent money to your "landlord",that is ,the person who owns the house .

 Today,You have leared about God's name .I am who I am is the God .

He is our God ,Our Lord and our "Heavenly Father「

He loves you so so dearly .
