The most important prayer in Christianity is The Lord’s Prayer (Our Father / Pater Noster), the prayer that Jesus taught his disciples. Used by most Christian churches in their worship, The Lord’s Prayer is recorded in Matthew 6:9-13 and, in a shorter version, in Luke 11:2-4.
The Lord’s Prayer begins with an invocation of God and a request related to His Name: Our Father Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name.
God’s Name is of utmost importance in understanding His nature and His character. When asked by Moses asked Him what His Name was at the burning bush, God replied: “I AM that I AM… You must say this to the Israelites, ‘I AM has sent me to you.'” (Exodus 3:14). God made it clear that He is eternally present. He has always been, He is now and He will always be.
Not only that, but this name of God also describes His eternal presence with His people. He is present to help, guide, comfort, save us etc. and His presence never leaves those who call upon His Name with a repentant heart. This is one of the most important lessons we learn from the very name of God: I AM.
The names that were given to God throughout the Old Testament offer us a glimpse into God’s character and how people saw and experienced Him.
