Deuteronomy 5:11 "You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
Philippians 2:9-10
9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
Proverbs 19:3 A man's own folly ruins his life,
yet his heart rages against the LORD.
How will you take the name of Jesus in your life? Either, you will give full allegiance to Jesus Christ in your life and serve Him as He rules your heart; Or, you will treat his name with contempt because of your rebellion!
There are those who will take Christ name in vain to express their anger and frustration at people, when people get in their way in the supermarket and they can't get by with their shopping cart, so out of frustration and anger, they take Christ's name in vain--Yet little does he know that the very name of Jesus that could save his very soul, was treated with contempt, profanity and ungodly rage! He could walk around in his arrogance after using Christ's name in vain, but little does he know that he is condemned already because He did not believe in the very name of Jesus that can save his very soul.
He will be held accountable for taking the name of Jesus in vain, before the throne of Christ his knee will bow, but then it will be too late as he is thrust into eternal condemnation because in his life he misused the name of Jesus and did not believe on Christ for Salvation.
It Angers me and pierces my soul when I hear people using Jesus' name in vain; out of expression of their sinful rage. Instead, Call on Jesus' name to save you from your sinful rebellion, don't use Jesus' name in a sinful rage because you can't get your way. The very Blood of Jesus can cleanse your Soul. Use His name with reverence and give Him full allegiance with your life!
