Text: Genesis 1:1?
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth. Psalm 8:1
I will praise you for what you have done - in your name I will hope for your name is good. Psalm 52:9
The name of God. Each of the 900+ names mentioned in the Bible speaks to who He is so that we can know Him better and trust Him more.
God gave us His name to help us to KNOW Him and TRUST Him. He gave us His name to REVEAL to us His person/character to RELATE to us so that we might know/walk w/ Him.
This AM, I want to turn our attention to the 1st name of God in Scripture - found in the 1st verse of the Bible - yet is used more than 2,500x in the O.T. alone.

The name translated God is - Elohim - which means the One/only infinite, all-powerful Creator.
Sometimes Elohim is shortened to El and is used as part of a longer name- El Shaddai (God Almighty); El Elyon (God Most High); or El Roi (God Who Sees).
It's also used inside of many biblical names like - Daniel (El is My Judge); Nathanael (Gift of El); Samuel (El has Heard); Elijah (El is Yahweh); and of course, Israel (El Perseveres)

Scholars believe Elohim is the plural form of El - and it's the only name used for God that's plural - which most scholars attribute to the triune nature of God - that Elohiim is the 3 in 1 God - Father, Son, and H.S.
Of course, this aligns w/ other passages of Scripture...
In the beginning was the Word (God in the flesh), the Word was w/ God and the Word was God. John 1:1
For by Him (Jesus) all things were created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him. Colossians 1:16
From the start, God declared His nam ...
