How would you feel if you were constantly called another name? You may feel disrespected, devalued, and mistreated. This is how Yah feels every time we call him by another name or title. Many of us have grown up in a religion like Christianity where people call on the name of "god." However, god is not a name but a title that does not refer to The Most High. Now, Yah is very merciful and patient with us. He knows that many of us are just doing what we were taught to do, referring to him as "god." I know for myself growing up as a Christian I only referred to Yah as God and many times he still answered me, because he knew I did so in ignorance. Yah taught me that we cannot stay in our ignorance, as he will not wait forever for us to call him by his true name. He wants us to know who he is; a major part of that is knowing his name and what it means. You see Yahuah means "he exists"
Not only is it important to know what The Most High name is so that we know who we are referring to, but it's also important to know Yahs name because within a name is one's character. This can be seen throughout the scripture the importance of someone's name. For example, some individual's names had to be changed to also change their ways/character. Individuals such as Abraham, Paul, and Sarah all had their names changed.
Just as we are called to know the father's name we are called to know his son's name. Yahusha's name means Yahuah is Salvation! Yahshuas name points directly to Yahuah this is something you simply don't get the the same meaning for the name Jesus.
Finally, if we do not know the father's name how can we know who we are? As an individual within the diaspora for many years, I had no idea that I was a descendant of the ancient Israelites. That is largely because we no longer knew Yahuah's name. We are called by his name and with that comes responsibility to be the light of the world, however, we cannot even begin to do that if we don't know whose name we are called by.
