Q: Why is the word
Lord in the Bible sometimes written as “LORD”?
A: LORD is God’s holy
covenant name; the name of a faithful God who enters into agreements/promises
with his people. Throughout history,
this name is thought of as too holy to be spoken aloud, YAHWEH (Yahweh is a
modern pronunciation), it is the most frequent usage of his name in the
scriptures, used about 6,800 times.
Q: How can this
knowledge help you understand what you are reading in your Bible?
A: When you are reading a passage in the Bible and you read the word “LORD”
you should pause and ask God, “Is there a promise to your people in this
passage? What is it? Is this a promise you are making to me? How does this promise apply to my life?"
