Taking God’s Name in Vain

Who among you fears Adonai? Who obeys what his servant says? Even when he walks in the dark, without any light, he will trust in Adonai’s reputation and rely on his God.

But all of you who are lighting fires and arming yourselves with firebrands: go, walk in the flame of your own fire, among the firebrands you lit! From my hands this [fate] awaits you: you will lie down in torment.

Isaiah 50:10-11 CJB

—-

A person’s name is their reputation, character, and personal qualities.

Taking the name of God in vain is not using it as a curse word.

Taking the name of God in vain is connecting yourself with Him and subsequently refusing His qualities, power, and desires.

Adhering to cessationism is taking the name of God in vain.
