In the Book of Acts, we are introduced to a man who was named, "Joses" by his parents. Because of his personality and character, the apostles changed his name to Barnabas--translated "Son of Encouragement."
If the apostles gave you a new name, based on your character and behavior, what would you be called?

I would probably be called "Needs a Savior." All the time. I try on my own and I do the best I can, but I am never good enough. None of us are, so we desperately need a Savior, but maybe I do more than most. Anyway, that would no doubt be my name.

That is a very good pet name, one that I am sure makes God smile when He sees it in your heart.

Well, if that happened to me, I don't know what to be called but one thing I want to be it. The Son of Jesus.

When we become disciples we are made sons of God. Such a blessing!

That only apostles can tell because they only would know what is my personality and character. Usually people have names that contradicts their personality and character but we never change their names.
