"There are two hundred and fifty-six names given in the Bible for the Lord Jesus Christ, and I suppose this was because He was infinitely beyond all that any one name could express."

 ~ Billy Sunday ~

Meaning of title: An inscription put over anything as a name by which it is known.The inscription at the beginning of a book, containing the subject of the work, and sometimes the author's name.

It is not stated how many times if any the word title appeared in the Bible. 

What is it about a title that gives the person or object credence, stature, or power?

Many of us wear many hats and bear many titles during our life’s journey. Most of us carry at least two personas. One that our family sees and a different one at work. Perhaps we are known as Mom or Dad at home and at work, you could have a title that is specific to your job description. I would say most of us have somewhere between 5 –15 titles tops.

It’s fascinating to me to discover just how many names and titles God carries... How does He keep 950 names and titles straight?   How does He fulfill the job descriptions that each of them conveys?

Come with me as I try to understand How this came to be ??? First, let’s be clear. 

There is only one God, He is in many ways beyond human comprehension, He also consists of three distinct persons, The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit.  So from the beginning, we start with the possibilities of four names.  Now when I glance over the long list of titles they seem to vary because of the origin of the language spoken and the job they represented.  We could probably be lost in His names and titles for an indefinite amount of time and never truly grasp the vastness of their true meanings.  

I do believe the titles and names were given by the ones involved with Him and the action given. 

I do believe we migrate to the name and title that speaks to our hearts with the language of an unexplainable love.  When He touches our soul His name becomes music to our ears. His title gives us comfort that He holds the keys to whatever we may need.  We cling to the title's description and it becomes a personal understanding of who He is and what He means to each of us.

As I traveled this road. My love and understanding grew. His names and titles shifted and as He became more alive. His presence became evident in my life... I finally landed on a name and a title that spoke to my soul... It grew from respect, adoration, and from a love that He lavished on me... I call Him LOVEs ... Because LOVE is what I think of when I think of Him... And in my heart, He is all-inclusive, He is “One” The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit... So, 

One word, One Love, in a plural, became: 

LOVEs

It’s Him, It’s Always Him. 

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder. And His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 1John 4:16

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him 1John 3:1 NIV
