Name.

"You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain." -exodus 20:7.

-----

"Through His names and titles, God has chosen to reveal His attributes, office, authority, prerogatives, and will.

Each name of God features some distinct virtue or characteristic of His nature. Thus, God has declared the glory of His nature by His names, which are not to be abused.

It is this commandment more than any other that shows how much God should be a part of our every word, deed and attitude.

It shows that the test of our spiritual cleanliness is how we use the name of God, whether in truth or vanity.

It indicates that a man is better off being sincerely wrong than to be a professing Christian and deny His name by the conduct of his life."
