In this powerful teaching, Prophet Robin-Huws Barnes explores the biblical revelation of God’s names and how they progressively reveal His nature and character. From Elohim in creation to Yahweh, El Shaddai, El Elyon, and others, Scripture shows that every encounter with God unveils a different dimension of who He is.
However, the ultimate revelation comes through Jesus Christ, who reveals God not merely as a distant divine being, but as “Abba Father.”
Understanding these names helps believers grasp the mind of Christ concerning God and deepens our relationship with Him. Each name reveals a dimension of God's character—His power, provision, healing, faithfulness, and closeness to His people.
Ultimately, Jesus brings the greatest revelation: God is our Father, inviting us into intimacy, identity, and inheritance as His children.
