The Midrash says that each of us has 3 names :
1. The name that our parents call us,
2. The name that others call us, and
3. The name that we call ourselves.

The most important thing is what the LORD God calls us...The LORD God calls us to obey (shema' : שָׁמַע) and guard (shamar : שָׁמַר) the judgments (mishpatim) given in the Torah. As a reward, the LORD will likewise guard (shamar) the covenant (ha-brit: הַבְּרִית) and love (chesed: חֶסֶד) that the LORD gave to our fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

To know the truth about your identity - that you are a beloved child of God invested with divine authority given through Yeshua, the Living Torah - is the most important description about who you are...

SHABBAT SHALOM v' bamashiach Yeshua baruch Hu!
