Pastor Frank Answers Saul to Paul – Why do names change?
Stump the Pastor Video Series
The Mary T. and Frank L. Hoffman Family Foundation
Dedicated to cruelty free living through a vegan lifestyle.
Today, vegan Pastor Frank discusses why God changes names. In the Bible, God often changes someone’s name to reflect a new identity or purpose. Abram becomes Abraham to signify his role as the “father of many nations.” Sarai becomes Sarah as she steps into her destiny as a mother of nations. Jacob becomes Israel after wrestling with God, marking his transformation and the birth of a people. These name changes symbolize renewal, calling, and God’s intimate involvement in shaping a person’s mission. Listen to find out more as to why these name changes occurred throughout the bible.
