~CHAPTER ONE~
“What’s In a Name?”

The famous cynical quote, “What’s in a name?”
was penned long ago by William Shakespeare

in his most famous and beloved play, “Romeo and Juliet.”
Shakespeare held a philosophical belief that it did not matter

what name something bore, but rather just focus upon
achieving the desired end result. The moral to this philosophy

Shakespeare summed up under the cute cliché:

“A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME IS STILL A ROSE.”

William Shakespeare

Shakespeare believed that the name itself did not contain any worth or meaning.
In essence, the name it bore had absolutely no effect on the end product produced.
Perhaps that dubious philosophy may work in a world of make believe acted out on a
controlled theater stage, but would be a stark contrast when compared to the
emphasis scripture places upon the ability of names and titles to aid in expressing faith.
It is my growing suspicion that this Shakespearean philosophy may also hold a strong
grip on the thinking of many Christians as well. We too can be guilty of allowing
our faith to be concentrated solely on just achieving the end result.
For instance, we can be ever desirous to be healed of a physical malady, but guilty of
overlooking the importance Scripture places on the Name of the One who heals

(Exodus 15:26).

Names/titles given in scripture are of the most important significance because the
revelation contained within the meaning often depict levels of authority and power
possessed by the individual bearing the name. The more we understand the depth of
meaning behind the name revealed the greater aspect of faith can be released.

THIS IS IMPORTANT:

Throughout scripture biblical concepts of faith zero in on expressing a firm belief in
“the name” revealed as the very means by which the end result is obtained.

WHICH PRINCIPLE DO YOU EMBRACE?

“IT DOES NOT MATTER “IT DOES MATTER
WHAT NAME SOMETHING BEARS, WHAT NAME SOMETHING BEARS.
IT TAKES “FAITH IN THE NAME”
JUST FOCUS UPON
THE END RESULT TO PRODUCE
PRODUCED.” THE END RESULT.”
