On the basis of Christ’s sacrifice, God forgives the sins of those who exercise faith. When we make mistakes, as we all do, we genuinely repent and turn away from practices that dishonor God.-Ps. 5:14-16) As holy people, we prove by the way we live our lives that God’s laws are good and that Satan’s accusations are false. By performing righteous deeds, we let our light shine and thus bring glory to God’s name. Even when we are persecuted, we do our best to live according to His righteous principles and laws. (Read 1 Peter 1:15, 16.) This means that we worship only God and that we obey him with our whole heart.
We can show we love God's name by our conduct. By being loyal, Jesus proved that a perfect human could maintain perfect obedience to God’s righteous standards.
Even when Satan subjected Jesus to an agonizing death, Jesus remained completely loyal to his heavenly Father. (Read Psalm 40:8-10.) By his perfect life course on earth, Jesus proved that it is reasonable and righteous for God to set standards for his intelligent creatures. (John 17:25, 26) Jesus contributed to the sanctification of the divine name. Jesus, on the other hand, truly loved the name of God. By lying about Jehovah, Satan slandered God’s sacred name.-Gen. In spite of this, in the garden of Eden, Satan slyly questioned God’s right to set standards for humans. In another prayer, Jesus addressed God as “Holy Father.” (John 17:11) Since God is holy, all principles and laws that originate with him are holy.
#Father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name full
God’s name embraces the full scope of His excellence, majesty, and holiness. Jesus mentioned the sanctification of God’s name as the first request in his model prayer. What is the meaning of "hallowed be thy name"?
