12 ways God introduces Himself

Who is like You, O LORD among the gods?
Who is like You, majestic in holiness,
awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders? Exodus 15:11

There is no one like our Father in heaven. God’s name represents all that He is and all that His children need, for He is our loving and gracious Father.

When I introduce myself, I say, “Hi, I’m Karen.” I may continue with, “I’m Kristin’s mother,” or “I am Keith’s wife,” or “I am an adjunct professor.” I usually don’t think of introducing myself in relationship to the other person I’m meeting.

However, when the Lord introduces Himself to us with “I am” in the following 12 verses, His name embodies His relationship to us.

What if we introduced ourselves with a description of how our relationship could be meaningful to the other person? Would that person value our names?
