- Genesis 17:1-27; - Pastor Peter Franz ; - We are given names by our parents at birth. These names may be significant within the family or to the parents. In the Old Testament God change Abram’s name to Abraham and Sarai’s to Sarah to indicate a covenant with them that they would have a son, in their old age, and would make Abraham the father of many nations. They were to call their son Isaac and God would make an everlasting covenant with him and his descendents. Thank God for the name above all names. That is the name of Jesus by which we are saved and called to be sons of God.
