Like spouses give their loved ones sweet names with attributes, Christians are not left out in giving or calling God names with wonderful attributes. If you love God, you would call him good names and even give him a special name.
I call him The God who is invisible but yet available.
Even in the Holy Bible, God, as well as Jesus Christ, have always been called different names which shows how powerful and mysterious God is. As one who loves God, I have put together all the different names of God that you will surely love to call him.
I might not cover all the names of God in the Bible but will show us a good number of wonderful names that show the attributes of God/Jesus Christ. You could call this the alternative names of God because they tell you how he operates and does things.
God’s name is Jehovah but each individual calls him a special name that embodies the totality of his powerful attributes.
So below, I am going to list most of the different names for God in the Bible, wonderful attributes of God, powerful names people call God and the meanings to those names if it has one.
Enjoy and also call God these great names in your prayers, praises, worship and quiet time. God loves to be worshiped, praised and honored, and those who do it always find favor in his sight.
A good example is David who later became a King.
So, let’s find out all the sweetest names and attributes of God that are worth knowing.
