Introduction:
Yahweh is the personal name of God as revealed in the Hebrew Scriptures, particularly in the Old Testament. This name is considered sacred and is central to the identity of God as the covenant-keeping deity of Israel. The name Yahweh is often represented in the Hebrew text by the Tetragrammaton, YHWH, and is traditionally vocalized as "Yahweh." In many English translations, it is rendered as "LORD" in all capital letters.

Biblical Revelation:
The name Yahweh is first introduced in the context of God's self-revelation to Moses at the burning bush. In Exodus 3:14-15, God declares, "I AM WHO I AM," and instructs Moses to say to the Israelites, "I AM has sent me to you." This is further clarified in verse 15: "This is My name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered in every generation." The name Yahweh signifies God's eternal, self-existent nature and His unchanging faithfulness.

Attributes of Yahweh:
Yahweh is depicted throughout the Bible as the Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer. In Genesis 2:4, Yahweh is identified as the Creator of the heavens and the earth. The Psalms frequently extol Yahweh's attributes, such as His holiness (Psalm 99:9), righteousness (Psalm 11:7), and mercy (Psalm 103:8). Yahweh is also portrayed as a God of justice and judgment, as seen in Isaiah 33:22: "For the LORD is our Judge, the LORD is our Lawgiver, the LORD is our King; He will save us."

Covenant Relationship:
Yahweh's relationship with His people is characterized by covenant. The Abrahamic, Mosaic, and Davidic covenants are central to understanding Yahweh's interactions with Israel. In Genesis 17:7, Yahweh promises Abraham, "I will establish My covenant as an everlasting covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you." This covenantal relationship is marked by Yahweh's steadfast love and faithfulness, as seen in Deuteronomy 7:9: "Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of loving devotion for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments."

Yahweh in Worship:
Worship of Yahweh is a central theme in the Old Testament. The Israelites are commanded to worship Yahweh alone, as stated in the first commandment: "You shall have no other gods before Me" (Exodus 20:3). The Shema, found in Deuteronomy 6:4-5, is a foundational declaration of faith: "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One. And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." Worship practices, including sacrifices and festivals, are detailed in the Law and are intended to honor Yahweh and maintain the covenant relationship.

Yahweh and Jesus Christ:
In the New Testament, Jesus Christ is identified with Yahweh, affirming His divinity. Jesus uses the divine name "I AM" in John 8:58, saying, "Truly, truly, I tell you, before Abraham was born, I am!" This statement connects Jesus to the self-revelation of Yahweh in the Old Testament. The apostle Paul also affirms the deity of Christ in Philippians 2:10-11, where he writes, "that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

Conclusion:
The name Yahweh encapsulates the essence of God's character and His relationship with humanity. As the self-existent, covenant-keeping God, Yahweh is central to the biblical narrative and the faith of believers. Through Jesus Christ, the revelation of Yahweh is fully realized, inviting all to enter into a covenant relationship with the one true God.
