God’s name is not just a specific word; it connects to his reputation with the way people thought about Him. We are bearers of His Name. Therefore, we must live lives that do not profane that Name. His name was written on the Temple. Solomon says in 1 Kings 8:
May your eyes be open toward this temple night and day, this place of which you said, ‘My Name shall be there,’ … Do whatever the foreigners ask of you, so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your own people Israel, and may know that this house I have built bears your Name.
Paul reminds the Church that we are the Temple … we bear the name of God. As we live Holy lives then we must obey the commands of God.
