Who is God?

Who is God?

When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am El-Shaddai–‘God Almighty.’ Serve me faithfully and live a blameless life.
-Genesis 17: 1

El Shaddai means God Almighty, God of the mountains.

  1. God is Love and heere you have mentioned different titles, which is not exactly the same as names. The Adonai Elohim Hashem is sanctified and His name should be set apart or made holy, by calling Him by His name Jehovah.
