*36:21-23* Why did God want to protect his holy name-his reputation-among the nations of the world? God was concerned about the salvation not only of his people, but also of the whole world. To allow his people to remain in sin and be permanently destroyed by their enemies would lead other nations to conclude that their pagan gods were more powerful than Israel’s God (Isaiah 48:11). Thus, to protect his holy name, God will not share his glory with false gods - he alone is the one true God. The people had the responsibility to represent God properly to the rest of the world. Believers today have that same responsibility. How do you represent God to the world?
