The Glorious and Fearful Name

This 1999 series explores the depth and power of God’s revealed name, showing how it embodies His character, His purpose, and His plan to bring many sons and daughters to glory. Far more than a label, the name of God is a declaration of His will, a promise of salvation, and a call for His people to bear His character in their lives. Through careful study of the Scriptures, each class reveals how the divine name is woven into the promises to Abraham, fulfilled in the life of Christ, and destined to fill the whole earth with God’s glory. The result is a stirring reminder that those who take on His name must also reflect His holiness, His mercy, and His truth.

Class 1 – Hallowed Be Thy Name

The opening class introduces the majesty and holiness of God’s name. It shows how the Psalms exalt the name as a source of salvation, forgiveness, and refuge, and how the prophets foretold that Christ would declare and manifest that name. Believers are called to honor the name in their conduct, recognizing both the privilege and responsibility of bearing it.

Class 2 – This is My Memorial

This session examines God’s revelation of His memorial name to Moses at the burning bush and the Exodus. The study highlights how “I will be who I will be” connects God’s name to His promises, especially the covenant with Abraham. The name was not just a title but a pledge of His presence, faithfulness, and redemptive purpose.

Class 3 – The Revelation of Glory

Here the focus turns to how God’s character was revealed through the law and the prophets, and ultimately in the promised seed. The lesson emphasizes that salvation is God’s work, initiated and accomplished by Him, and that Christ came speaking in His Father’s name, declaring His glory to the world.

Class 4 – The Word Made Flesh

This class reflects on the fullness of God’s name manifested in Jesus, in whom mercy and truth converged. By his sacrifice, Christ declared God’s righteousness while extending forgiveness, fulfilling the meaning of “I will be who I will be.” Believers are shown how the word became flesh, and how God’s purpose was realized in His Son.

Class 5 – Many Sons Unto Glory

Building on the exaltation of Christ, this class reveals how the divine name is extended to the family of God. Through grace, believers are adopted as sons and daughters, called to reflect the Father’s character. The study explores how disciples are “born again” into this family and prepared to share in the glory of God’s purpose.

Class 6 – In That Day There Shall Be One Lord

The series concludes with a vision of the kingdom, when the name of God will be glorified throughout the earth. Prophecy is shown to point to the time when Israel will be restored, the nations taught righteousness, and all will confess one Lord. The final picture is of God’s purpose fulfilled: His glorious and fearful name exalted forever.
