Names and Titles of Jesus Christ in Scripture
30 names and titles used for Jesus Christ across the Old and New Testaments. Each name with its verse text, cross-references, and the doctrinal truth it reveals about the Savior.
Why the Names of Christ Matter
The scriptures use more than 80 distinct names and titles for Jesus Christ, and each one reveals a different aspect of His nature, mission, and relationship with God's children. He is called 'Lamb of God' (emphasizing His atoning sacrifice), 'Good Shepherd' (His care for individuals), 'Prince of Peace' (His role as the ultimate source of peace), 'Mighty God' (His divine power), and dozens more.
In the Old Testament, many of these names appear in Hebrew with layers of meaning that English translation can only partially convey. 'Immanuel' means 'God with us.' 'Jehovah' (YHWH) is the covenant name of God revealed to Moses. The New Testament adds names such as 'Messiah,' 'Christ,' 'Logos,' and 'Alpha and Omega.'
Christian tradition teaches that studying the names of Christ is one of the most rewarding forms of scripture study because each name teaches doctrine. When Jesus said 'I and my Father are one' (John 10:30), He was teaching about the nature of God. When Isaiah called Him 'Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace' (Isaiah 9:6), each title carries specific prophetic meaning.
